Initial analysis

The two-unit multi-family residential building at 2800 Franklin Street in Cow Hollow, owned by the Carroll Family Trust, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1900. The property underwent significant renovations between 2016 and 2019, including substantial bathroom and kitchen remodeling work valued at approximately $145,800, electrical system upgrades including a new 100-amp subpanel installation, and foundation improvements. The renovation work was carried out in two phases: the first phase from November 2016 to March 2017 involved remodeling multiple bathrooms and the kitchen, while the second phase in 2018 included final inspections and related electrical and plumbing work.

The building has experienced recurring issues with street cleaning and debris removal in recent months, with eight reports of abandoned furniture and other debris between July and November 2024, though most of these cases were resolved. Additionally, there are several carbon monoxide detector-related incidents on record, including two malfunction activations and two cases with no CO detected, though these incidents occurred without any civilian injuries. The most recent building activity consists of three garbage and debris removal cases in November 2024, while an excessive noise complaint from August 2024 remains open. The property has maintained compliance with building permits throughout the renovation process, with all major work completed and proper renewals obtained for electrical and plumbing permits.

Risk rating

How 2800 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
87th percentile

Out of 861 buildings in this neighborhood, 112 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.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 84.0%
Moderate concern 8.5%
Severe concern 7.5%
