Initial analysis

The six-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 2150 Taylor Street in Russian Hill, owned by Love Lucky LLC and constructed in 1958, currently faces significant compliance issues regarding earthquake safety requirements. The building is classified as Tier 4 in the Mandatory Soft Story Retrofit Program and has maintained a non-compliant status, with the most recent violation opened in January 2023 relating to failure to complete required retrofit work and associated permits. While there have been previous attempts to address this through a cancelled permit in 2017 and a new permit filed in 2024 for a $100,000 retrofit, the building remains under active violation status with a director hearing scheduled for June 2024.

The property has experienced several notable incidents requiring structural and systems repairs, including a substantial fire in 2010 that affected units #4 and #6, resulting in significant interior repairs and system upgrades costing $100,000. This incident also triggered a violation for unauthorized demolition work. Building improvements have included an electrical upgrade in 2010 to upgrade from 200 amps to 400 amps with new meters and breakers, and an attempted addition of four ADUs on the first floor in 2019 under the city's Accessory Dwelling Unit program, though this permit was marked as 'filed' without clear completion status. Recent maintenance issues have been predominantly external, with multiple 311 calls between 2023-2025 regarding street cleaning, graffiti, and sidewalk conditions, though these do not directly impact building habitability. Four minor fire-related incidents were recorded between 2022-2023, though none resulted in injuries or confirmed fires.

Risk rating

How 2150 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.
