AI summary

The three-story, six-unit multi-family residential building at 2355-2365 Union Street in Cow Hollow, owned by Darin Richards-brown Revocable Trust, has undergone several significant improvements and maintenance work since its construction in 1900. Most notably, the building completed a roof replacement in August 2023 at a cost of $34,850, and previously underwent a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017, demonstrating compliance with seismic safety requirements (Tier 4, Work Complete, CFC Issued). The property has seen major infrastructure upgrades, including an electrical service upgrade from 100 to 200 amps in 2015, and substantial electrical wiring improvements in 2010 and 2005.

The building's maintenance history reveals attention to various building systems, including plumbing repairs (2011) and comprehensive interior upgrades such as bathroom, kitchen, and laundry remodels (2010) with hydronic heating systems. In 2015, significant garage maintenance was performed with the removal and replacement of approximately 9 yards of concrete slab. The property has experienced some compliance issues in the past, with multiple violations recorded in 2002 related to stair repairs, fire safety, sanitation, and interior surfaces, though all were abated by March 2005. Recent complaints include unpermitted window replacement in 2021 and routine inspections in 2002 and 2011, with all matters being resolved. The building's surroundings have generated several parking enforcement issues in 2023-2024, with multiple cases of driveway blocking, though these are not directly related to the building's condition or management.

Risk rating

How 2355-2365 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.
