Initial analysis

The 935 Ocean Avenue property is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1979 and currently owned by the Chan Family Trust. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and safety inspections over the years, with particular attention to fire safety systems. In October 2000, multiple violations were recorded including combustible storage issues, fire extinguisher maintenance needs, an egress obstruction, problems with the front door closer, and damaged ceilings. These violations were all addressed and abated by November 16, 2000. A follow-up inspection in January 2003 revealed additional fire safety concerns, including the need for fire extinguisher recharging and the installation of a battery-operated smoke detector at the top of the stairs, which were also resolved by February 2003. A routine inspection was conducted in May 2010, showing no ongoing violations.

The building's maintenance record includes an underground electrical service conversion completed in 2002. While there have been multiple fire alarm activations recorded at the property, including smoke detector activations, a cooking fire, and various alarm system activations between 2007 and 2020, none resulted in civilian injuries. The most recent building-related incidents have been primarily related to false alarms or system malfunctions. The property's recent activity as of late 2024 has been relatively quiet in terms of building-specific issues, with most recent 311 calls pertaining to external areas near the building, including reports of graffiti, pavement defects, and public transit-related matters.

Risk rating

How 935 Ocean 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
