Initial analysis

The property at 3014-3016 Pierce Street, a two-unit duplex built in 1906 in the Cow Hollow neighborhood, has undergone several significant modifications over the past two decades. The most substantial change occurred in 2010-2011 when the ground floor storage space was converted into a garage, with associated work including a new garage door and curb cut, though this project encountered multiple complaints regarding code violations and sidewalk encroachment during its construction. The building has seen notable electrical system upgrades, including a comprehensive rewiring project in 2006-2007 that involved installing 20 lights, 30 receptacles, and upgrading to 200A service, along with additional electrical work in the garage area in 2011. A direct vent gas fireplace was installed in 2012, representing the most recent significant interior improvement.

Recent activity at the property has been primarily related to parking enforcement, with multiple citations issued in 2022-2024 for vehicles blocking the driveway. The building underwent a two-unit merger process, consolidating the two residential units into one. Several maintenance and safety-related issues were addressed quickly, including a complaint about non-compliant windows in 2009 and various sidewalk cleaning matters, as documented in 311 calls. While the building has experienced some regulatory scrutiny regarding construction work and compliance, most issues were resolved promptly, and there have been no reported building code violations since 2011. The property appears to be well-maintained from a structural standpoint, with all major permitted work having reached completion, though the garage conversion project did generate some neighborhood concerns during construction.

Risk rating

How 3014-3016 Pierce 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

Out of 861 buildings in this neighborhood, 52 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.

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

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

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 84.0%
Moderate concern 8.8%
Severe concern 7.2%
