Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family residential building at 338-340 27th Street in Noe Valley, owned by Anshu & Chandrayan Bhardwaj, was constructed in 1906 and contains two units. The property has undergone several significant renovations over the past decade, with the most substantial work occurring between 2017-2019, including a $53,000 renovation project in 2017 that involved bathroom remodels, kitchen renovations, closet expansions, and wall modifications using steel beams. This work was followed by plumbing updates for shower pans, kitchen and bathroom renovations, and furnace replacement, all completed by 2019. In 2013, there was a building complaint regarding unauthorized trellis work attached to a front staircase, though this issue appears to have been resolved.

More recent activities at the property have centered around tree maintenance issues, with multiple reports of overgrown trees in 2024-2025, including one case involving potential sewer damage from tree roots. A horizontal addition and extensive remodeling project proposed in 2016 was withdrawn, and there are historical records of illegal short-term rental activity at the address that has since been abated. The building's infrastructure was reportedly affected by a gas leak incident, though there were no civilian injuries reported. Recent municipal service requests have primarily focused on street cleaning and graffiti removal in the vicinity of the property.

Risk rating

How 338-340 27Th 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
75th percentile

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 470 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.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Building age

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

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 82.9%
Moderate concern 11.6%
Severe concern 5.5%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
