Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 4726-4728 3rd Street in the Bayview neighborhood, owned by Bell Alexander, has undergone several significant changes since its construction in 1917, with particular attention to safety improvements. The property has experienced recurring issues with its commercial storefront space, with multiple vacant storefront complaints filed between 2018-2023, most recently in June 2023 and currently active as of March 2020. The building underwent notable electrical upgrades in 2015 with the installation of a 150-amp service, though there was an earlier electrical permit from 2011 (E201108307355) that expired without proper final inspection or approval, which generated a complaint in 2015. Throughout the years, various improvements and repairs have been made, including window modifications in 2011 (upgrading to tempered glass), electrical system updates, and plumbing work to cap off water and gas lines in 2011. The property faced building violations related to an abandoned commercial storefront in 2019 that required monitoring fees and was resolved by December 2019.

The building has a documented history of maintenance activities and some compliance issues, including a complaint in 2011 regarding construction work proceeding without proper permits and blocking pedestrian access. Earlier concerns about unauthorized room construction and dry rot were addressed in 2008. More recent issues have primarily involved the commercial storefront's vacancy status, though these complaints have generally been resolved or marked as "not active." The property is currently experiencing ongoing challenges with garbage and debris management, as evidenced by multiple Recology service calls in late 2024/early 2025 regarding overflowing city garbage cans and abandoned furniture on the premises, with several cases still showing as open.

Risk rating

How 4726-4728 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.
