Initial analysis

The 2360 Van Ness Avenue property, located in the Russian Hill neighborhood, is a 3-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1911, containing 23 units and designated as a Tier 4 soft-story building with completed seismic retrofitting. The building has undergone significant recent improvements to its fire safety systems, with an upgrade to the existing fire alarm system in late 2023 to comply with current safety codes, including the installation of new smoke detectors, pull stations, and low-frequency sounders in sleeping rooms. Previous fire safety violations from 2019 related to multiple fire code issues, electrical hazards, and building maintenance requirements were all abated.

The property has a history of substantial renovation work, particularly focused on unit upgrades, with several apartments receiving modernizations to kitchens and bathrooms between 2015 and 2020, including Units 12, 18, 20, 22, and 23. Infrastructure improvements include a completed sewer line replacement in 2022. The building previously experienced multiple maintenance issues between 2005 and 2008, including problems with pests, heating, and interior surfaces, though these issues were resolved by 2009. Recent vacant storefront complaints in 2019 and 2020 were addressed, and the property currently maintains its commercial ground-floor space under various approved use designations, including a restaurant and beauty salon. The building's management has demonstrated ongoing commitment to maintaining and upgrading the property, particularly in addressing safety systems and unit modernization, as evidenced by consistent permit activity and resolution of historical violations.

Risk rating

How 2356-2360 Van Ness Ave'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.
