Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 3627 Cesar Chavez St in Bernal Heights, owned by Thomas Farragher 2000 Revoc, was constructed in 1979 as a three-story flats & duplex structure. The property has experienced multiple significant events over its history, with the most concerning being the recent fire code violations in 2024 related to ERRCS permit and records/UL certificate requirements, and a pattern of fire safety issues including three fire code violations since 2018. The building underwent exterior improvements in 2014 with the installation of Hardie siding on the lightwell and south-facing wall at a cost of $18,000. A series of building violations were documented in 2002, including issues with fire escape ladders, smoke enclosure doors, dryer vents, and handrails, though all were abated by June 2002.

The property has been subject to routine housing inspections in 2008, 2009, and 2016, with one active complaint from 1998 regarding neglected maintenance. Earlier issues from the late 1990s included multiple complaints about water leaks, mildew, and cold air infiltration problems in bedrooms and bathrooms. The building has experienced nine documented fire incidents, all of which were alarm-related with no civilian injuries reported. Recent activity around the property includes various 311 calls between 2022 and 2024 regarding street cleaning, graffiti, and other municipal services, though these are primarily related to the building's surroundings rather than the building itself.

Risk rating

How 3627 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.
