Initial analysis

The property at 6236 3rd Street in Bayview Heights is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1964 and currently owned by Michael Ha. The building has undergone several significant renovations, with the most comprehensive work occurring in 2008, including complete bathroom and kitchen remodels in all four units, window replacements, and various plumbing and electrical upgrades totaling approximately $90,000. This renovation included the replacement of fixtures such as faucets, toilets, showers, sinks, countertops, garbage disposals, ovens, and kitchen outlets. The building has maintained its electrical infrastructure with an underground conversion to 200 amp service completed in 2003.

The property has experienced ongoing maintenance and safety challenges, particularly during the period from 2004 to 2005, when multiple housing code violations were documented, including issues with heating systems, smoke detectors, floor coverings, fire safety measures, and inadequate lighting. These violations were all officially abated by October 2005. More recent complaints from 2022 and 2023 have raised concerns about basic amenities, including heat and lighting in common areas, though these issues appear to have been resolved or are no longer active. The building's maintenance history shows attention to both interior and exterior upkeep, with earlier improvements including window replacements and painting in 1987, and a kitchen exhaust hood installation in 1992. Recent municipal service calls in 2024 have primarily concerned external issues such as graffiti, sewer problems, and parking violations on nearby public streets, rather than building-specific maintenance concerns.

Risk rating

How 6236 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

Out of 54 buildings in this neighborhood, 32 are predicted to be safer.
