Initial analysis

The two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 3233 Steiner Street in Cow Hollow, owned by Sean and Erendira Byrne, was constructed in 1924 and has undergone several significant maintenance and safety improvements over the past few decades. Most notably, in 2018 and 2017, the property received substantial structural enhancements including foundation bolting with threaded rods, installation of shearwalls, and repair of dry rot in a plaster section on the ground floor while preserving the ornamental facade features. These improvements, completed at costs of $5,000 and $900 respectively, demonstrate the owners' investment in maintaining the building's structural integrity.

The property has experienced its share of community-related challenges, particularly in recent years. Between 2021 and 2024, there have been multiple incidents requiring city intervention, including two instances of medical waste (needles) removal in 2021, an encampment cleanup in late 2021, and several parking enforcement calls in 2023-2024 related to blocked driveways and sidewalk parking. While these issues primarily relate to the public right-of-way rather than the building itself, they may impact resident experience. The building's earlier maintenance history shows basic upkeep activities such as reroofing in 1996 and the addition of vinyl siding in 1987. The most recent building improvements, particularly the structural reinforcements in 2017-2018, suggest a proactive approach to maintaining the property's safety and stability.

Risk rating

How 3233 Steiner 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
