Initial analysis

The property at 3600 San Bruno Avenue is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building with a commercial component, constructed in 1910 and currently owned by Kenneth and Rowena Hui. The building's record shows limited historical renovations, with only two significant permits on file: a 1997 complete remodeling project that included office modifications, interior/exterior repainting, and new carpeting, and a 1982 permit for building signage installation - both of which were successfully completed.

The most pressing concern regarding this property and its immediate vicinity is a series of sanitation and maintenance issues documented through 311 calls between late December 2024 and January 2025. The records indicate persistent problems with garbage and debris on the surrounding streets and sidewalks, with multiple reports of loose garbage, yard waste, and even instances of human waste. While many of these cases have been resolved through city intervention, several remain open or were marked as "Unable to Locate" when inspection teams were dispatched. A specific concern is an open graffiti case involving a signal box reported in January 2025, and an open request for paint shop service from the Municipal Transportation Agency from late December 2024. These recent cleanliness and maintenance issues suggest ongoing challenges with the building's immediate environment, particularly regarding street and sidewalk upkeep, though it's important to note that these issues relate to public space rather than the building structure itself.

Risk rating

How 3600 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.
