Recent maintenance includes roof repairs and replacement work completed in November 2024, involving plywood replacement and reroofing at a total cost of $18,000. The building has a history of routine inspections and corresponding improvements, including substantial stair safety upgrades in 2011 to address violations, which involved repairing dry rot, installing handrails, and addressing housing inspection violations.

The property has experienced several fire safety system inspections and corrections from 2017-2022, including issues with sprinkler systems, alarm systems, and fire extinguishers, though all were marked as "Condition Corrected." There have been multiple routine housing inspections since 1999, with various violations addressed over the years. The building's maintenance record includes handling a variety of issues such as garage work complaints (2019), stairway handrail compliance (2011), and periodic responses to garbage and debris concerns in the surrounding area. Recent incidents recorded include minor situations like a cooking fire (contained), elevator rescue, and gas leak, none resulting in civilian injuries.

Risk rating

How 3070 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
3th percentile

Out of 255 buildings in this neighborhood, 247 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Neighborhood location

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 6.7%
Moderate concern 65.9%
Severe concern 27.4%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
