Initial analysis

The 6-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 2655 Franklin Street in Cow Hollow, owned by Fishman Family Trust, was constructed in 1924 and has undergone various significant changes over its lifetime. Most notably, in early 2002, the building faced multiple serious violations related to fire safety and habitable conditions, including problems with heating systems, fire escape maintenance, garbage receptacle placement, and the need for fire sprinklers. These violations were all addressed by March 2006. A parking garage renovation was attempted in 2002 to create four parking stalls, and while there were initial plans for sprinkler installation, these were later revised due to a classification change to less hazardous.

The building has undergone several improvements over the years, including a 2002 kitchen and bathroom remodel in unit 5, and a completed electrical upgrade in 2003 that installed lighting and outlets in the garage area. Recent activity around the property has primarily involved external issues, with multiple reports between 2021 and 2024 related to parking enforcement, including several citations for driveway blocking in early 2023, and street cleaning matters in early 2023. Two routine safety inspections in 2011 and 2012, and a 2002 reinspection request, all found no ongoing violations. While there have been recent encampment reports near the property (in 2023), these were not directly related to the building's conditions or services. The most recent building-related complaint or violation was resolved over 17 years ago, and routine inspections since then have indicated no major concerns.

Risk rating

How 2655 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
16th percentile

Out of 861 buildings in this neighborhood, 723 are predicted to be safer.
