Initial analysis

The 3-story, 6-unit apartment building at 2360 Union Street in Cow Hollow, owned by Jennifer T Browne, has undergone significant renovations and improvements since its construction in 1922. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story seismic retrofit in 2017 at a cost of $120,000, adding plywood shearwalls and steel moment frames with new foundations. The property has seen extensive unit improvements, particularly in 2010-2011 when multiple units (2, 4, 5, and 6) received comprehensive remodels including kitchen and bathroom updates, electrical rewiring, and the addition of new laundry facilities, with a collective investment of over $200,000. Recent improvements include a sauna installation in Unit 1's backyard (scheduled for 2024) and a bathroom remodel in Unit 6 (2023).

The building has required regular maintenance and compliance updates, evidenced by multiple boiler permit renewal requirements between 2013 and 2024. Historical violations from 2003 included issues with egress obstruction, water damage, and various interior surface problems, though all were abated within two months. More recent concerns have been limited to routine matters such as tree maintenance (2023), garbage overflow (2021-2022), and parking violations. A significant plumbing issue was documented in 2019 involving a sewer vent blockage, which required private plumbing intervention. The property has maintained active compliance with safety requirements, as demonstrated by the completion of the soft-story retrofit program and regular maintenance of fire safety systems, though there have been two recent fire escape-related complaints (2019) referred to the Department of Building Inspection.

Risk rating

How 2360 Union 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.
