Initial analysis

The 105-unit Franciscan Towers building at 201-225 Eddy Street, constructed in 1914, has undergone significant improvements and faced several challenges over recent years. Periodic upgrading of safety systems has been a priority, with recent modifications including a fire alarm system update in July 2024 to monitor ERRCS signals, and previously completed fire system enhancements in 2015 that included a full sprinkler installation and comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade. The building has experienced recurring elevator issues, with the most recent complaint about non-functionality in October 2024. 2022 saw multiple electrical safety concerns, including reports of smoking/sparking fixtures and problematic outlets, though some improvements were made during 2024 renovations of units 404 and 510, which included cabinetry and electrical finishes replacement.

The property has had its share of maintenance and safety challenges, including a notable fire incident in 2011 that required extensive repairs, and various historical violations relating to safety systems and building maintenance. Recent maintenance work includes significant sidewalk replacement and waterproofing completed in 2023, and ongoing efforts to address building systems including plumbing upgrades and electrical improvements. While many past violations have been resolved, there are currently open fire code violations from 2024 regarding ERRCS permits and sleeping area requirements, as well as multiple recent complaints about common area cleanliness and maintenance. The building's management has generally responded to violations and maintenance issues, though there have been some delays and recurring problems, particularly with the elevator system and certain building systems.

Risk rating

How 201-225 Eddy 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.
