Initial analysis

3141 Franklin Street is a three-story, 11-unit multi-family residential building located in the Marina neighborhood, constructed in 1923 and currently owned by Jeong Virginia 93 Revoc Tru. The property has undergone several significant safety upgrades in recent years, including a mandatory fire alarm system upgrade completed in 2022 that added low frequency horns in units and a wireless communicator, and a seismic soft-story retrofit completed in 2010. The building has experienced multiple safety-related incidents and violations over its history, most notably in 2015 when there was an issue with an unpermitted boiler operation that required resolution. Historical violations from 2006-2008 included problems with fire escape maintenance and egress obstructions, all of which were subsequently abated. The building's infrastructure has seen substantial electrical improvements, including a comprehensive service upgrade in 2006 featuring 14 meters, a 400A main switch, and multiple panels.

Recent history of the property has shown consistent maintenance of fire safety systems, with three fire complaints between 2017-2019 being resolved or found to have no merit. A short-term rental violation related to Airbnb was reported and resolved in 2022. The building has experienced recurring issues with blocked driveways, as evidenced by numerous parking enforcement calls throughout 2023-2024, though these are external rather than building safety concerns.

Risk rating

How 3141 Franklin 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
17th percentile

Out of 988 buildings in this neighborhood, 820 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Owner's portfolio size

Number of SF parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios have distinct risk patterns.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 30.1%
Moderate concern 41.1%
Severe concern 28.8%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
