Initial analysis

The property at 2524-2526 3rd Street is a two-story multi-family residential building completed in 1900, featuring three units and classified as a Flat & Store with 4 units or less, currently owned by Shouman Dames. The building's maintenance history includes several improvements, such as vinyl siding installation on multiple sides of the structure in 2001 (with costs ranging from $5,500 to $18,940), a reroofing project completed in 2006 costing $8,500, and street space permits issued in 2017. Of particular note is a water conservation compliance issue in early 2018 that resulted in a violation notice, though this was subsequently abated by March 2018. A 2013 complaint regarding unpermitted construction work in the kitchen area was also filed, but its resolution status is unclear from the available data.

Recent external conditions around the property have generated multiple reports, particularly regarding garbage and debris, with several 311 calls recorded between 2023 and 2024, though most were resolved either through direct action or resulted in insufficient information for further investigation. There has been a noticeable pattern of parking-related issues near the property, with five specific reports of driveway blocking between 2023 and 2024, three of which resulted in citations. Additional infrastructure concerns include a resolved sidewalk defect reported in August 2023. While the building's permit history suggests regular maintenance and improvements were made in previous years, the more recent pattern of service calls appears to be primarily focused on external issues rather than structural or safety concerns within the building itself.

Risk rating

How 2524-2526 3Rd 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.
