Initial analysis

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 6251 3rd Street in Bayview Heights, owned by Annette Brady, has a number of concerning maintenance and safety issues on record. Most recently, in late 2023, the building was cited for a broken/cracked window on the second floor along with paint deterioration and potential dry rot issues, though this specific violation was abated by October 4, 2023. More significantly, the property has an active violation related to non-compliance with the Commercial Water Conservation Ordinance that dates back to February 2018, concerning plumbing fixture requirements and required affidavit submissions that should have been completed by January 1, 2017.

The building has experienced multiple sewer-related incidents in late 2024, with at least three documented sewage backup discharges from the side sewer vent occurring in October and November 2024, which were addressed by various city departments including DBI, PUC - Sewer Operations, and Building Inspection. Historical records show past violations from 2005-2006 relating to fire safety concerns, including smoke detector requirements and prohibited use of extension cords, though these issues were closed. The property has also experienced periodic maintenance issues as documented through 311 calls, most recently regarding sidewalk access concerns and street cleaning matters. While some recent violations have been resolved, the ongoing water conservation compliance issue and the series of sewage discharge incidents in late 2024 represent the most pressing current concerns about the building's infrastructure and maintenance.

Risk rating

How 6251 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.

Neighborhood percentile
