Initial analysis

The 5019-5023 3rd Street property is a two-story mixed-use building constructed in 1916, housing three residential units and ground-floor commercial space, currently owned by Muhamad Ahmad & Amerah Edai. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years, with the most concerning incidents being two ceiling collapses in late 2022 that reportedly released debris into occupied spaces, one occurring in December 2022 during business hours that prompted safety concerns about potential injuries or fatalities. These incidents led to multiple violations, including water-damaged ceiling tiles and plumbing issues, though some of these violations have been marked as abated by March 2022. The building underwent electrical upgrades between 2019-2020, with service increases to 400-amp capacity, suggesting some effort to modernize infrastructure.

Recent permits and ongoing work as of 2023 include window replacements for units 5019 and 5023, ceiling tile replacements, and issues with door placements, though the status of these permits remains suspended. Multiple housing and building complaints have been filed between 2021-2023, including concerns about mold, plumbing issues, and code violations regarding smoke detectors and electrical wiring. A notable tenant violation observation from early 2023 indicated potential illegal subleasing activity. The property has also faced challenges with its mixed-use nature, including a current active complaint about compliance with the Vacant or Abandoned Commercial Storefront Ordinance filed in June 2023. While there have been no serious fire incidents reported in recent years, historical fire complaints and a building fire incident (uncertain date) are on record, though no civilian injuries were reported in any fire-related events. The most recent building-related concerns include a "hazardous condition" and issues with cord wiring that were filed in July 2023, suggesting ongoing maintenance and safety challenges at the property.

Risk rating

How 5019-5023 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.
