Initial analysis

The property at 2205-2211 Taylor Street in Russian Hill is a two-story, five-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1929. The building has undergone several significant improvements in recent years, including a complete reroofing project in July 2024 costing $20,000, and the installation of new electrical service and wiring upgrades in 2024. A notable interior remodel in 2019 updated the ground floor unit's kitchen and bathroom facilities, while also including improvements to shower fixtures in multiple units. The building achieved soft-story compliance with a completed retrofit and Certificate of Final Completion issued, indicating structural improvements for seismic safety.

The building's most serious historical safety concerns were addressed during a 2005 routine housing inspection, which identified multiple fire safety issues including inadequate fire extinguishers, missing smoke detectors, and emergency exit concerns. These violations, along with others related to stair repairs and combustible storage, were all officially abated by July 2006. Since then, the property has shown consistent maintenance and upgrading activity, particularly in 2018-2019, when multiple electrical improvements were made including new wiring installations and a Ufer ground installation in the foundation.

Risk rating

How 2205-2211 Taylor 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.
