Initial analysis

The 11-unit, three-story building at 2101-2107 Union Street in Cow Hollow, built in 1908 and owned by St Francis Land & Cattle Co, has undergone significant recent improvements, most notably a complete upgrade to its fire alarm system completed in September 2023, costing over $30,000. The property has demonstrated consistent maintenance and modernization efforts, including multiple unit renovations between 2017-2021 involving kitchen remodels and electrical upgrades in units #3, #10, and #14, with associated plumbing work for sinks, faucets, and appliances. Major mechanical system updates include the replacement of steam boilers in 2018 and 2020, and a complete water service replacement in 2009.

The building has experienced several fire safety-related issues over the years, with the most recent fire alarm system complaint in September 2023, which was promptly corrected, and a similar incident in 2021.

Recent complaints regarding overflowing city garbage cans in the vicinity occurred in January 2025, though these are not building-specific issues.

Risk rating

How 2101-2107 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.
