Initial analysis

The two-story multi-family residential building at 342-344 Brazil Avenue in the Excelsior neighborhood, owned by Joanne Drogitis, consists of three units and was constructed in 1991. The building's construction phase included significant improvements such as adding two new kitchens and bathrooms, window alterations, and a garage with parking access through a newly installed garage door and curb cut. Over the years, the property has undergone several routine housing inspections, with the most recent one in 2019 addressing a broken ground floor window that was promptly repaired within two weeks. The building has experienced multiple enforcement actions, notably in 2004 and 2007, involving fire safety concerns such as combustible storage in the garage, security requirements for exterior doors, and furnace repairs, all of which were resolved.

Recent maintenance and compliance history shows regular attention to building upkeep, with no active violations or complaints currently on file. However, there have been numerous recent 311 calls (2024) regarding street-level issues such as garbage debris, illegal parking, and abandoned furniture, though these are external to the building's operations. The property underwent significant initial development scrutiny in 1991-1993, with several permit renewals and revisions, including a cancelled application for skylights and fireplace installation. A notable permit from 2009 regarding street space/sidewalk use remains on record. The building's parking infrastructure received special attention during construction, with variance requests related to curb cut dimensions and garage door spacing being documented in planning records.

Risk rating

How 342-344 Brazil 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.
