Initial analysis

The property at 3126-3128 24th Street is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Andrew On Tak Kong. The building has experienced persistent maintenance and safety issues over recent years, with multiple active violations from 2018 related to general dilapidation, water damage, interior surface problems, and smoke detector requirements. These violations led to several repair permits being issued in March 2020, including repairs to stairs, handrails, and various wall and ceiling holes, totaling approximately $2,700. The property has undergone multiple water heater replacements between 2013 and 2022, indicating recurring plumbing system challenges. Recent complaints filed in 2024 describe ongoing plumbing issues, including sewage discharge problems and leaks affecting both residential and commercial spaces. The building's maintenance history shows attention to fire safety systems, with a ground floor restaurant fire system installation permitted in 2005, though a housing department violation regarding exposed wiring required remediation in 2020.

The property has a documented history of water-related issues, with multiple 311 calls reporting sewage backup problems in August 2024. Other maintenance concerns have included general dilapidation, improper interior surface maintenance, and the need for various repairs identified in building violations. The commercial portion of the property has maintained active uses as a full-service restaurant, with appropriate permits secured for its operation. While some remediation work has been completed, including repairs to various building elements and water heater replacements, many violations from 2018 remain active as of the most recent inspection data, suggesting ongoing maintenance challenges. The property has also experienced issues with graffiti, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in 2023 and 2024, though these were not directly related to residential habitability concerns.

Risk rating

How 3126-3128 24Th St's risk score is calculated

We trained a model on 7 years of SF DBI inspection data — notice of violation filings, complaint history, and owner track records. It estimates the probability that DBI inspectors will issue a Notice of Violation at this address in the next 12 months. Lower % = safer.

What the score means for you

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.
