Initial analysis

The 7-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 2915 Franklin Street in the Marina district, owned by the Milano Family 2013 Revocable Trust, was constructed in 1960 and has undergone various maintenance and construction activities over the years. Most recently, in August 2024, building permits were issued for siding replacement work valued at $20,000 to address structural maintenance requirements. The building has experienced several significant issues related to building safety and habitability, with active complaints as of June 2024 concerning structural maintenance, weatherproofing, and safety systems. A notable cluster of fire safety violations occurred in 2018-2019 regarding fire escapes, alarm systems, and exit obstructions, though these were subsequently abated.

The property has a history of construction-related complaints, particularly in 2016 when multiple complaints were filed regarding unauthorized work, including front door changes, window replacements, and lobby modifications. While some improvements have been made, as evidenced by completed electrical work and drywall repairs in 2018, there have been recurring maintenance issues such as peeling paint (noted in June 2024) and questions about smoke and carbon monoxide alarm compliance. The building's maintenance history includes roofing work completed in 1989, and various permit approvals for modifications to comply with building codes. While many historical violations have been addressed, the presence of active complaints and recent siding replacement work suggests ongoing maintenance needs.

Risk rating

How 2915 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
