Initial analysis

The property at 3718-3724 César Chavez Street is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building located in Noe Valley, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Fiona Yifei Yang. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the past two decades, with the most recent major work being a complete reroofing project in 2021 costing $19,420. The electrical system received substantial upgrades between 2003-2004, including complete rewiring of various areas and a 200-amp service upgrade. In 2016, the building addressed structural concerns by replacing footings under an extension with new grade beams, particularly to comply with requirements regarding neighboring property damage. Earlier improvements included the installation of a new trash enclosure and repairs to front stair threads in 2011.

The building has demonstrated responsive maintenance and safety compliance, with routine housing inspections occurring in 1999, 2004, 2009, and 2017 showing no active violations. Historical complaints from 1998 indicated issues with heating systems, pests, and window problems, but these appear to have been addressed as there have been no similar recurring issues in recent years. The property's plumbing infrastructure has also seen necessary updates, including the replacement of a cracked waste line and house trap in 2019. Recent maintenance activities include various street maintenance and tree-related services, with the most recent works being conducted in late 2023. The building has experienced occasional issues with sidewalk obstruction and street cleaning needs, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in 2023-2024, but these are external to the building itself.

Risk rating

How 3718-3724 Cesar Chavez 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
33th percentile

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 1259 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.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

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

Building age

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 57.1%
Moderate concern 19.9%
Severe concern 23.0%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
