Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family residential building at 37-39 Joost Avenue in Glen Park, owned by the Darius Miller Revocable Trust, was constructed in 1900 and contains two units. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past two decades, most notably a complete reroofing project in 2017 costing $8,000. In the mid-2000s, substantial renovations were completed including the replacement of all exterior windows (10 windows) and garage door in 2005 ($6,800), followed by electrical upgrades including a 200-amp service installation with three meters and multiple sub-panels. A notable incident occurred in July 2005 when work exceeding permit scope was reported, specifically involving ground floor bathroom remodels and possibly unauthorized room modifications, though this violation was subsequently abated by December 2005.

Recent activity at the property has primarily involved external maintenance and parking-related issues. In 2023-2024, there have been multiple parking enforcement calls regarding vehicles blocking driveways or parking illegally, with the most recent parking-related complaint occurring in October 2023. A graffiti incident reported in October 2023 is currently listed as open. The building has also experienced some maintenance-related complaints, including one regarding collection day bin management in July 2022 and a track-related noise issue with Muni in September 2022. The most recent building-related complaint was resolved by February 2023, according to 311 call records, suggesting that while there have been ongoing maintenance and parking enforcement issues, no major building violations or structural concerns have been documented in recent years.

Risk rating

How 37-39 Joost 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.

Neighborhood percentile

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.

Building age

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

Neighborhood location

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

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 85.7%
Moderate concern 9.2%
Severe concern 5.0%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
