Initial analysis

The Bayview property at 5267-5269 3rd Street is a two-unit, one-story multi-family residential building with a commercial space, owned by Bernadette D. Smith and constructed in 1931. The building experienced significant damage from a fire in 2007, requiring extensive repairs costing $110,000 to the south exterior wall, floor joists, and roof joists, along with comprehensive renovations to kitchens and bathrooms in both units, installation of new wall heaters, and extensive electrical work including 30 lights, 25 switches, 37 receptacles, and 28 circuits. This fire incident subsequently led to building violations in 2010 for expired permits and unsafe conditions, which were not resolved until July 2014.

More recently, in 2017, the building underwent exterior improvements with the installation of a new awning (cost: $3,300), though there was a withdrawn permit application for a non-structural sign painting at the same time. The property has been active in 2024, with multiple 311 calls related to graffiti, debris, and transit shelter maintenance in the vicinity, though these issues appear to be external to the building itself. The building's planning records show proper approvals for both the awning installation and its recognition as a Legacy Business ("The Jazz Room") under the ownership of Bernadette Smith.

Risk rating

How 5267-5269 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.

Neighborhood percentile
