Initial analysis

The two-unit, 1922 building at 4912-4914 3rd St in Bayview, currently owned by Se-sf LLC, has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues in recent years. Most pressing is the ongoing termite and fungus damage situation, with permits issued in November 2023 for $22,000 in repairs to bay windows, following previous structural pest control work in January 2024 costing $35,000. The building has a documented history of vacant commercial storefront issues, with multiple violations between 2019 and 2024, most recently bringing this matter to active status in July 2024. A notable fire incident occurred in 2014 that affected the second floor, requiring major repairs including complete remodeling of a four-bedroom unit with new electrical, bathroom, and kitchen systems, though some permits from this period expired.

Recent complaints filed in July 2024 regarding peeling paint on the building's front and side elevations (currently active as of October 2023) and a garbage debris issue indicate ongoing maintenance challenges. The property has seen various improvements over the years, including electrical upgrades, plumbing modernization, and bathroom remodels, with significant work completed in 2016 including the installation of new smoke/CO detectors and comprehensive unit upgrades. Historical records show earlier improvements including storefront repairs in 2011 and foundation work in 1997, while planning records from 2024 indicate dry rot repairs were completed on the facade. The building's maintenance pattern suggests periodic compliance issues requiring attention to both residential and commercial components, with recent activity focusing on pest-related repairs and exterior maintenance. There have been recurring water conservation compliance concerns noted in 2018, though these appear to have been resolved.

Risk rating

How 4912-4914 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.
