Initial analysis

3444 Jennings Street is a two-story multi-family residential building located in Bayview Heights, constructed in 1912 and currently holding three units under the ownership of the Kawa Albert Yam Trust. The building's occupancy and unit configuration were officially documented in October 2015 through an administrative permit, confirming its legal status as a two-story structure with two legal units, though records indicate it has three units. A reroofing project was undertaken in 2002 at a cost of $6,000, but this permit has since expired.

The property has experienced several notable incidents in recent years, with the most significant being a sewage backup discharge from the side sewer vent in November 2024. The building's immediate vicinity has seen multiple street cleaning and garbage-related issues in late 2024, including cases of abandoned furniture and loose debris, though these were generally resolved by city services. There have been several parking-related complaints in recent months, with one resulting in a citation for sidewalk parking in November 2024. Historical records show minimal fire-related incidents, with a false alarm recorded in 2010 and a vacant building complaint that same year, both of which were determined to have no merit. The property underwent a Historic Resource Assessment (HRA) as part of its planning records, though no specific developer actions are listed. Additionally, the building's vicinity has seen tenant buyout activity at a neighboring address (994 Le Conte Avenue) in March 2018, involving five tenants and a payment of $12,100, though this is not directly related to 3444 Jennings Street.

Risk rating

How 3444 Jennings 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
72th percentile

Out of 54 buildings in this neighborhood, 15 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 73.3%
Moderate concern 15.6%
Severe concern 11.1%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
