Initial analysis

The property at 3068 Cesar Chavez St is a one-story, two-unit multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood, owned by Rick Wai-kay Cheung and Ho Pu. Built in 1908, this duplex-style building has undergone several significant renovations over the past two decades, with the most recent major work including a complete sewer lateral replacement in 2022 and substantial unit renovations in 2019. The 2019 improvements included kitchen and bathroom remodels in Unit A, completed with corresponding plumbing and electrical upgrades costing $50,000. Prior renovations from 2017-2018 show consistent maintenance and improvement efforts, including kitchen and bathroom updates in both units and the addition of a full bathroom on the second floor.

The building has a documented history of compliance issues, most notably a major violation in 2004-2005 regarding an unauthorized vertical addition at the back of the house, which was resolved through a compliance order requiring the removal of an illegal roof-level room and stairs. Additional compliance concerns were raised in 2018 regarding unpermitted work on the water heater, though these issues were abated in a timely manner. The property's maintenance records show regular upkeep, including reroofing work in 2003 and various plumbing upgrades. There have been minimal recent complaints or service issues, with only routine maintenance matters such as street cleaning (2023) and a resolved sewage backup (2022) on record through 311 calls.

How 3068 Cesar Chavez St's risk score is calculated

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.
