AI summary

The two-unit residential building at 2530-2532 Franklin Street in Cow Hollow, owned by the Verhey Family Trust 2009, has undergone significant recent improvements, with substantial work occurring in early 2024. Most notable are the interior upgrades completed in January 2024, which included remodeling bathrooms, updating the laundry room, installing a ceiling fan, tiling the kitchen floor, and associated plumbing work, all under a combined $60,000 project. Accompanying these renovations, extensive electrical work has been carried out, including a comprehensive rewiring of the upper unit and installation of fire warning devices, demonstrating attention to both modernization and safety.

Prior to these recent improvements, there were plans in May 2023 for a more extensive renovation project including the addition of a new elevator and bathroom remodels, along with ground floor laundry modifications, though these permits were ultimately cancelled. Historical records show earlier maintenance work including reroofing projects in 1991, 1992, and 2007, indicating regular upkeep of the building's infrastructure. The property has had minimal incident reports, with only routine municipal service requests related to street cleaning and color curb modifications between 2014 and 2016, none of which indicated any issues with the building itself. The recent 2024 permits and improvements suggest proactive property management and investment in maintaining and upgrading the residential units.

Risk rating

How 2530-2532 Franklin 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, 26 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.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Owner's portfolio size

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

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 92.1%
Moderate concern 5.3%
Severe concern 2.6%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
