Initial analysis

The property at 4900-4904 3rd Street is a 2-story mixed-use building constructed in 1927, containing 3 residential units and commercial space, currently owned by Se-sf LLC. The building has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues over the past two decades, with the most recent concerns including peeling paint as of July 2024 and ongoing efforts to upgrade commercial entries for accessibility compliance (scheduled for installation of power door operators in 2024). A significant cluster of violations was documented in February 2020, including issues with exhaust ventilation, handrails, plumbing permits, interior wall damage, lead paint hazards, weatherproofing, and more, though these were all marked as abated by June 2020. The building has undergone various plumbing improvements in recent years, including pipe replacements and bathroom fixture updates in 2020-2021, and previously addressed concerns about heating systems and water supply.

Historical records show the property has faced recurring maintenance challenges, including a 2012 incident involving persistent water leaks affecting adjacent businesses, and a 2003 complaint regarding mold, wall damage, heating system failures, and smoke detector issues, all of which were subsequently addressed. The commercial space has also experienced periods of vacancy, most recently in 2019. Recent activity includes routine inspections and various repair work, with the current owner actively addressing accessibility requirements and maintaining compliance with building codes. While there have been multiple 311 calls regarding the property in early 2025, these primarily relate to city services and transit issues outside the building's direct management scope.

Risk rating

How 4900-4904 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.
