Initial analysis

The Magrini Family Trust owns this 2-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building located at 2949-2951 Octavia Street in the Cow Hollow neighborhood. Built in 1925, this flats and duplex-style property has undergone several significant improvements over the years, with the most recent major work being a reroofing project completed in 2016 at a cost of $11,500. Between 2005 and 2007, the building received substantial window upgrades, including two separate projects totaling the replacement of 24 windows - 12 visible from the street in 2007 ($12,912) and 12 on the non-visible side in 2005 ($6,696). The roof was previously addressed in 1996, though that permit has expired.

The property has had minimal recent maintenance issues, though there is currently an open noise complaint logged in September 2024 regarding excessive noise. Two street cleaning incidents were recorded in the area surrounding the building - one in September 2020 related to waste and one in December 2013 regarding loose garbage, both of which were resolved. Several street space permits were issued for the property between 2007-2009, though these are typically temporary permits for public right-of-way usage and don't directly impact the building's condition or habitability.

Risk rating

How 2949-2951 Octavia 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.
