Initial analysis

The Dione King Family Trust owns this 2-story, multi-family residential building with 4 units and commercial space, located at 2141-2143 Powell Street in North Beach. Built in 1906, the property has undergone various significant renovations, most notably in 1998 when the commercial floor and two residential units were renovated, followed by the addition of a tatemi tea room and various improvements to the commercial space. Recent major work includes sewer lateral repairs, house trap replacements, and water heater updates completed in 2020-2022, indicating ongoing maintenance of essential systems. A sidewalk improvement project, filed in May 2023, aims to install new accessible thresholds as part of the city's ABE program.

The building had a notable set of violations in October 2005 related to fire safety, including issues with smoke detectors, emergency exits, fire extinguishers, and emergency exit lights, though these were all abated by November 2005. Earlier complaints from the 1990s documented water leakage and security issues, which were also resolved. The property has experienced some recent exterior maintenance challenges, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in 2024 regarding waste removal and street cleaning, though these are not directly related to building conditions. The most recent planning record from 2023 confirms ABE compliance with no change of use. The building's permit and inspection history suggests regular maintenance and updates to keep systems and access compliant with current standards, though prospective tenants should note the building's age and its historical pattern of requiring periodic system updates.

Risk rating

How 2141-2143 Powell 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

Out of 362 buildings in this neighborhood, 141 are predicted to be safer.
