Initial analysis

The 2716 Franklin Street property is a 2-story, 4-unit multi-family residential building located in Cow Hollow, owned by the Leung Family Trust and constructed in 1924. The building has undergone significant recent improvements, particularly between 2020-2021, with comprehensive renovations in multiple units including kitchen and bathroom remodels, electrical upgrades, and new fixtures, with work completed in Units 2, 1, and 4 at costs ranging from $26,000 to $37,000. Earlier improvements include a reroofing project in 2015 for $12,000. The building experienced several safety and maintenance issues in 2004 that were addressed by September 2008, including problems with ceilings, fire safety features, security devices, and stair repairs, though these violations are no longer active.

Recent activity at the property has been largely centered around parking enforcement, with multiple citations for blocked driveways reported between 2020 and 2024, though many of these incidents were either unverified, resulted in no vehicle being located, or were resolved by responding officers. There was one sanitation-related issue recorded on June 22, 2020, regarding human or animal waste that was resolved by the Department of Public Works. The building's recent history suggests active maintenance and upgrading of residential units, particularly focusing on modernization of kitchens and bathrooms along with electrical systems, while historical violations indicate previous concerns with building safety systems that have since been addressed.

Risk rating

How 2716 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
52th percentile

Out of 861 buildings in this neighborhood, 413 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Property class: multi-family flat

2–4 unit flats (class F) are a common SF building type with their own maintenance and complaint patterns.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 62.8%
Moderate concern 15.3%
Severe concern 21.9%
