Initial analysis

The 347-349 Precita Avenue property is a four-story, double-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1913, currently owned by Michelle Lerman and Mccandlis. The building has undergone substantial improvements and maintenance work over recent years, with the most recent significant activity being plumbing backflow work completed in September 2023. Major renovations occurred between 2016 and 2018, including a 200-amp service upgrade with three meters, complete rewiring, installation of radiant heat systems, bathroom waterproofing, and the development of three shower pans. The building's physical condition was addressed in July 2021 through compliance work related to physical inspection report #CC-8462, and followed by additional improvements in 2017 including the addition of a below-grade lightwell.

The property has generated several 311 calls over the past five years, primarily related to parking issues and street cleaning needs, with only one recent encampment report in November 2024 that was quickly resolved by authorities. Planning records indicate significant modifications to the building's layout and facilities, including the conversion of rooms on the ground through third floors and the installation of roof decks, though some planned improvements like a new garage in the basement were withdrawn or cancelled. The extensive permit history suggests active management and ongoing maintenance of the property, with particular focus on plumbing, electrical, and bathroom improvements during the 2016-2018 renovation period. The building's systems have been regularly updated, including multiple backflow installations and various plumbing works, indicating attention to safety and infrastructure maintenance.

Risk rating

How 347-349 Precita 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.
