Initial analysis

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 150 Plymouth Ave in Oceanview, owned by Chang Dahvy, has been standing since 1953 and consists of a single-story structure. The building's documented history reveals several significant fire safety concerns from 2000-2010, including multiple violations related to fire extinguisher maintenance, combustible material storage in the garage, and smoke detection system deficiencies. A series of routine inspections conducted in 2000, 2003, and 2010 by Housing Inspection Services identified these issues, though all were marked as abated. Of particular note is the building's earlier history of water-related problems, with reports of roof leaks affecting kitchen areas in December 1995 and January 1996, and a reroofing permit was issued in August 1997.

In recent months (August-October 2024), there have been multiple 311 calls regarding the property's exterior conditions, though these primarily relate to sidewalk cleaning, garbage, and debris issues rather than building safety concerns. Most of these recent complaints involved reports of loose garbage or yard waste, with some related to abandoned vehicles near the property. The most recent building inspection records from 2023 are not available for review, and it's important to note that while the property had significant fire safety issues in the early 2000s, subsequent inspections showed these were addressed. The current status of the building's safety systems and overall maintenance condition would require direct communication with relevant authorities for the most accurate and up-to-date information.

Risk rating

How 150 Plymouth 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
