The property has undergone substantial renovations in recent years, particularly in 2019-2020, with major work including unit conversions, kitchen relocations, heating system upgrades from electric heaters to gas furnaces, and comprehensive electrical rewiring across multiple units. Final inspections for this work were completed in February 2023, though several earlier permits from 2019 had expired.

Several fire violations from 2021 regarding egress lighting, signs, and owner contact posting requirements were abated.

Historical maintenance issues have been documented through the years, particularly in the late 2000s, including problems with windows, mold, and floor coverings, all of which were resolved. The building has experienced periodic plumbing, electrical, and general maintenance work, with the most recent major systems upgrades occurring between 2018 and 2020. While there have been several 311 calls regarding street cleaning and sidewalk conditions, and various fire safety complaints, most issues have been promptly addressed. The property's documented history shows a pattern of maintenance and improvement, particularly in the past few years, with no current active violations or complaints.

Risk rating

How 2736-2758 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.
