Initial analysis

The 15-unit multi-family residential building at 4408-4442 3rd Street in Bayview, owned by Bayview Properties Managers, has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues in recent years. Most notably, the building failed to complete its mandatory soft-story retrofit as a Tier 3 building, with active non-compliance noted as of October 2019. Recent months have seen recurring issues with the property's exterior, including multiple complaints about peeling paint and unauthorized changes such as unpermitted gates (both currently active). The building experienced serious interior problems in 2022-2023, including water damage that led to mold/mildew issues, rodent infestations, and various interior surface violations, all of which were reportedly abated by January 2023. Fire safety has been a concern, with multiple violations recorded for extinguishers, electrical systems, and combustible materials in 2020, though these were subsequently corrected.

The property has undergone several significant repairs and improvements in recent years, including a complete reroofing project in 2024 ($3,500), drywall repairs in 2024 ($500), and previous electrical rewiring work completed in 2005, which included extensive updates to both residential and commercial spaces. A notable recent violation regarding lead paint hazards was issued in 2022, along with multiple building complaints about chemical odors and water damage impacting both residential and commercial spaces. The retail portion of the building has undergone various changes over the years, including a conversion from a hair salon to a tattoo parlor in 2014, though there have been ongoing concerns about unauthorized uses such as a nail salon that reportedly operates without proper permits. The building's management has been active in addressing most violations and complaints, with many cases being resolved or corrected, though several current violations remain pending resolution as of October 2023.

Risk rating

How 4408-4442 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

Out of 382 buildings in this neighborhood, 363 are predicted to be safer.
