Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family residential building at 44 Holloway Ave, located in the Ingleside neighborhood, is a 1901 flats & duplex structure containing two units, currently owned by Richard C. Smith and Me Larkin. The property has undergone significant renovations and maintenance work over recent years, with major improvements completed between 2015-2017. In 2016, comprehensive remodeling work valued at $98,000 was carried out on Unit #1, including kitchen and bathroom renovations, deck additions, interior and exterior stair repairs, window replacements, and porch reconstruction. This project also involved electrical upgrades, including a new service installation, complete rewiring, and installation of modern fixtures throughout the unit. Additional plumbing work was completed in 2017, including a sewer lateral replacement, and new HVAC systems were also installed.

Recent issues of note include recurring sewer problems, with reports of sewage backups in January 2024 and a discharge from the side sewer vent in October 2024. The building's maintenance history shows some withdrawn or cancelled permits, including a 2016 permit for stair and porch construction that was not completed as planned. Several 311 calls in 2024 have been recorded regarding various issues, including illegal parking, a damaged tree (currently in progress as of February 2024), and general street cleaning matters. While the building has undergone substantial improvements over the years, the recent pattern of sewer-related incidents may warrant attention. The property has also experienced some ongoing maintenance challenges, as evidenced by the number of permits and repairs related to stairs, porches, and plumbing systems.

Risk rating

How 44 Holloway 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.
