Initial analysis

This three-story, two-unit multi-family residential building located at 3662 Folsom Street in Bernal Heights was built in 1915 and has undergone several significant renovations and improvements over the past decades. The most recent work, completed in March 2023, involved replacing windows and a sliding patio door with new wood components. The building underwent substantial remodeling in 2015-2016, including a major $400,000 conversion project that added new bathrooms and living spaces across multiple floors, along with the creation of a roof deck. This project generated some controversy, as evidenced by multiple complaints in 2016 regarding work being performed beyond the scope of permits, unauthorized foundation work, and concerns about structural safety. The complaints were ultimately marked as not active.

The property has seen various infrastructure upgrades in recent years, including a standard EV charger installation in 2020, a complete rewiring in 2016, and the replacement of key systems such as the furnace, plumbing fixtures, and bathroom renovations. Historical records show earlier improvements including a roof replacement in 2004 and window replacements in 1992. The building's interaction with city services has primarily involved external matters, with numerous reports of abandoned vehicles and illegal parking in the vicinity between 2021 and 2024. More recently, in 2023-2024, there have been concerns raised about tree roots damaging the sidewalk, which remains an open issue, and instances of city garbage cans overflowing.

Risk rating

How 3662 Folsom 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 1276 buildings in this neighborhood, 408 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 72.2%
Moderate concern 19.8%
Severe concern 8.0%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
