Initial analysis

The 12-unit multi-family residential building at 2665 Franklin Street in Cow Hollow, managed by Mms St Croix Llc, was constructed in 1924 and has undergone several significant improvements over the years, with the most recent being a reroofing project completed in 2019 at a cost of $20,000. The building successfully completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017 (Tier 3) in accordance with San Francisco building codes. Attention to mechanical systems has been a recurring theme, with multiple boiler-related issues documented between 2007 and 2018, including three separate boiler replacements and several permit renewal requirements. The building experienced substantial maintenance issues in 2001, with multiple violations recorded including problems with the fire escape system, heating system, floor coverings, and combustible storage, though all these violations were ultimately abated by 2011.

Recent building maintenance has focused on addressing various plumbing needs, including backflow installation (2016), boiler replacement (2014), and washer/dryer installation (2017). A notable complaint in 2007 cited multiple maintenance issues including lack of heat, appliance problems, and interior maintenance needs, though these were addressed within a month. Recent activity around the building has primarily involved external maintenance matters, with multiple reports of abandoned furniture and debris removal needed in 2024, and several parking violations related to driveway blocking. A fire alarm system issue was documented in 2015 and resolved in early 2016. The building's structural integrity has been maintained through various upgrades, including a 1991 structural upgrade and window replacement in 1987. The property's maintenance history shows regular attention to building codes and safety requirements, with most significant issues being addressed in a timely manner once identified.

Risk rating

How 2665 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

Model explanation

What's driving this score

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 60.8%
Moderate concern 27.9%
Severe concern 11.4%
