Initial analysis

The property at 4642-4646 3rd Street in the Bayview neighborhood is a two-story mixed-use building constructed in 1907, containing 4 residential units and ground-floor commercial space, currently managed by Bayview Property Managers. The building has undergone several significant transformations, most notably in 2017 when the ground-floor space transitioned from a limited restaurant to a fitness studio/fitness retail use (U3Fit), with subsequent improvements including ADA accessibility upgrades and the installation of various plumbing and electrical systems. The property experienced considerable fire damage in 1991 and again in 2010, specifically affecting the commercial portion, which required extensive repairs including sheetrock replacement and electrical work.

Recent issues of concern include a lead hazard warning issued in March 2024 regarding peeling and flaking exterior paint, which was officially abated in June 2024 but required multiple notifications and compliance steps. Tenants have reported various maintenance issues in recent years, including problems with kitchen floor conditions and plumbing, as well as historical concerns from 1994 regarding electrical systems and pest control. The building has had multiple false alarm incidents documented by the fire department, though no civilian injuries have been reported in any incidents. Recent maintenance activity includes the installation of a food service mop sink in 2023, indicating ongoing commercial improvements. The property has generated multiple 311 calls in late 2024 primarily related to street cleaning and parking violations, which are peripheral to the building's conditions but may affect the immediate area around the property.

Risk rating

How 4642-4646 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.
