Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 3042-3044 Steiner Street in Cow Hollow is a 1908 flats and duplex structure currently owned by Ku Trust The. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and compliance events over the years, with the most recent major work being a street space permit issued in 2011 and a reroofing project completed in 2008 at a cost of $9,450. Multiple routine inspections by Housing Inspection Services in 2011 revealed several safety-related violations that were subsequently addressed by April 2011, including the installation of self-closing devices on exterior doors, removal of egress obstructions, and repairs to handrails and stairs. A concerning incident was documented in 1995 regarding unsafe backyard stairs and railings with extensive rotting, though this was promptly abated within two months.

The property has experienced several maintenance and safety concerns over its history, including a fire safety violation in 2002 related to fire extinguisher tagging, which was also resolved by 2011. Recent activity at the property has primarily consisted of external issues, with multiple reports of vehicles blocking driveways in 2024 leading to citations, and ongoing tree maintenance concerns noted in reports from 2019 and 2022. The building's location has experienced various typical urban maintenance issues as documented in 311 calls, including street cleaning matters and reports of debris, though these are not directly related to the building's structural or safety conditions. The property appears to have maintained compliance with housing codes since the resolution of the 2011 violations, though prospective tenants should note the age of the building and its history of safety-related maintenance requirements.

Risk rating

How 3042-3044 Steiner 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

Out of 861 buildings in this neighborhood, 250 are predicted to be safer.
