Initial analysis

The property at 3474-3476 San Bruno Ave is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1906 and currently owned by the John & Mary Mcdonagh Revocable Trust. The building has undergone several significant renovations and improvements over the past two decades, with the most recent major work completed in 2012-2013 including a ground floor interior remodel adding new living spaces and comprehensive electrical and plumbing upgrades. Earlier improvements from 2005-2006 included substantial bathroom and kitchen renovations across multiple units, window replacements, deck enlargements, and the installation of new electrical systems including underground service conversion. The building experienced several violations in 2011 that were promptly addressed, including fire safety issues, gas utility requirements, and rear stairway handrail needs, all of which were abated within a month. Historical complaints include routine inspections and some maintenance issues from 1994-2006, such as plumbing leaks, heating problems, and structural concerns, though these were all resolved.

Recent activity at the property (as of late 2024) has primarily consisted of external housekeeping matters, with multiple reports of debris, abandoned items, and graffiti in the vicinity of the building being promptly addressed by city services. The building's maintenance record shows regular attention to both unit improvements and compliance with safety requirements, with no active violations or complaints as of the latest inspection records. Two minor fire-related incidents are on record, though neither involved civilian injuries and were contained to their respective locations. The property appears to have maintained compliance with housing codes following the 2011 remediation efforts, with no subsequent violations of similar nature.

Risk rating

How 3474-3476 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.
