Initial analysis

The property at 2113-2117 Powell Street is a three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1908, currently owned by Msk Survivor Trust. The building has undergone several significant renovations over the years, with the most substantial work completed in 2012 involving comprehensive interior updates to all three units, including the addition of full bathrooms, furnace installations, and associated electrical and plumbing work, with a reported cost of $75,000. Earlier improvements from 2003-2005 included garage construction, window replacements, siding repairs, and electrical system upgrades including a new 200-amp service with four meters.

The building has experienced some safety and maintenance concerns, with recent fire safety inspections in 2022-2024 revealing violations related to alarm systems, extinguishers, and sleeping area requirements, though these have been marked as "abated." A heating complaint was filed in late 2010 regarding inadequate heat in one unit, but this issue appeared to be resolved. The property has generated several 311 calls in the past two years (2022-2024) primarily related to street cleaning issues, including reports of garbage, debris, and graffiti on adjacent utility property.

Risk rating

How 2113-2117 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
88th percentile

Out of 362 buildings in this neighborhood, 43 are predicted to be safer.

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.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

Building age

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

Building permits, owner's portfolio

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 80.2%
Moderate concern 9.0%
Severe concern 10.8%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
