AI summary

The 2937 San Bruno Avenue property is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building located in Portola, constructed in 1965 and currently owned by Angel Yang Riley-revoc Lvg. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and safety improvements over the past decades, including a completed reroofing project in 2021 costing $10,000, and an underground electrical conversion to 200 amp service completed in 2004. A notable cluster of fire and safety violations was documented in late 2007, including issues with combustible storage, lighting fixtures, fire escape maintenance, and door security, though all these violations were officially abated by December 26, 2007. Earlier violations from 2001 related to security, smoke detection, and fire safety were also resolved by the same date.

The building has maintained regular housing inspections, with records showing routine inspections in 1999, 2001, 2004, 2007, and 2010, all of which are marked as not active. More recent events at the property have primarily involved street-level maintenance issues, with multiple reports of garbage and debris in 2023-2024, though most of these cases were resolved promptly. The property has experienced some infrastructure challenges in the surrounding area, as evidenced by recent 311 calls regarding pavement defects (open since August 2023) and sewage backup issues (resolved February 2024). Historical records show past improvements including sidewalk work (permit from 2001) and previous roofing work in 2001, though these permits are now expired.

Risk rating

How 2937 San Bruno Ave'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

Out of 255 buildings in this neighborhood, 156 are predicted to be safer.
