Initial analysis

Situated in Noe Valley, this early 20th-century duplex at 3731 Cesar Chavez St was constructed in 1915 and features two residential units over two stories. The property, currently owned by the Margaret Pinter Dynasty Trust, has undergone several significant maintenance and infrastructure improvements over the past decades. Notable plumbing work includes a complete sewer lateral replacement in January 2019 and a sewer repair in July 2011, demonstrating attention to critical infrastructure systems. The building's exterior received attention in 1997 with a complete reroofing project, and the most recent street space and sidewalk permit was issued in July 2011, though this low-cost permit of $1 may not reflect substantial work.

The property has experienced several street cleaning-related incidents in recent years, with four documented cases between 2018 and 2023. While most of these cases were successfully resolved, one general cleaning case from October 2023 remains open, and a human/animal waste report from the same month was investigated but found to be nothing significant. The frequency of these cleaning issues, though not directly related to the building's condition, may indicate some ongoing challenges with external area maintenance around the property. The building's permit history suggests regular maintenance of critical systems, with particular attention paid to plumbing infrastructure over the past decade.

Risk rating

How 3731 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.
