Initial analysis

The 4-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 2341 Union Street in Cow Hollow, owned by Oded Schwartz and Ruth Rosenthal, has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects since its construction in 1924. The property has seen recent attention to its exterior, with a major window replacement project in 2018 (costing $40,500) to update street-facing windows from wood to aluminum-clad materials. A sewer house trap repair was completed in February 2021, which followed earlier maintenance including a complete reroofing in 2014 (cost: $7,000) and 1990. The building has experienced some safety and maintenance challenges, most notably in 2009 when there were multiple complaints regarding lead paint hazards during exterior scraping work, though these were subsequently addressed. The property has had recurring plumbing and sewer issues, with documented flooding and sewage problems in 2021 and 2010 respectively. More recent concerns include an open noise complaint from October 2024. The building has undergone several routine safety inspections (in 2002, 2011, and 2012), and while there have been past violations regarding fire safety and lead paint, these issues appear to have been resolved. A blocked exit complaint from November 2018 was found to have no merit. The property's maintenance record shows regular upkeep and addressing of violations, though some concerns about interior surfaces and fire safety have been noted in past inspections.

Risk rating

How 2341 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.

Neighborhood percentile
42th percentile

Out of 861 buildings in this neighborhood, 499 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

Owner's portfolio size

Number of SF parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios have distinct risk patterns.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 55.7%
Moderate concern 15.0%
Severe concern 29.3%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
