Initial analysis

3010 Franklin Street is a three-story, six-unit multi-family residential building located in the Marina neighborhood, owned by Richard Stewart Barnsly and constructed in 1922. The property is currently facing an active concern, as of December 2020, regarding its classification as a soft-story structure, with a complaint citing potential significant hazards to residents due to non-compliance with the city's soft-story property mandate. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep and improvements, including a notable $16,000 kitchen remodel in unit 2 in 2008, along with various electrical and plumbing upgrades in multiple units between 2005-2009. Structural work has been carried out on the rear stairs in 2006 and brick veneer reparation in 1983, indicating attention to building integrity.

Recent incidents (2024-2025) have primarily involved external issues such as graffiti removal and debris clean-up around the property, though these were generally addressed promptly by city services. The building has experienced several internal safety-related incidents over the years, including carbon monoxide detector activations, smoke scare events, and a couple of contained cooking fires, none resulting in civilian injuries. The property has undergone various infrastructure improvements, including window replacements in 2000 and historical work on the roof and foundations, though it's worth noting that some permits have expired without clear record of completion. The building's permit history suggests ongoing maintenance and upgrading of facilities, with particular attention paid to modernizing unit amenities and maintaining structural components.

Risk rating

How 3010 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.
