Initial analysis

The 6-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 2003 Franklin Street in Pacific Heights, currently owned by Rosaire Properties LLC, has a rich history dating back to its 1885 construction. The building has undergone several significant structural and maintenance projects over the years, including termite damage repairs in 1995, a reroofing project in 2004, and multiple rear elevation modifications between 1996-1997 that addressed various structural revisions and as-built conditions. A notable cluster of building violations was recorded in 2002, including issues with fire safety, window maintenance, fire escape equipment, sanitation, stairs, and plumbing/electrical systems, though all of these violations were abated by November 2002. More recently, in 2019, there was a complaint regarding backyard cleanliness, security gate functionality, and blocked escape routes, though this complaint is listed as not active.

The building has maintained compliance with routine safety inspections, including one in 2013 and the aforementioned 2002 inspection. A fire alarm system issue was recorded and corrected in February 2015. The property has been the subject of various external municipal service calls in recent years, primarily relating to street cleaning and waste management between 2017-2023, though these issues generally pertain to public spaces rather than the building itself. An encampment report was filed in 2017, and there was a construction noise complaint in September 2017 that was handled by the appropriate authorities. The most recent incident related to the property was an abandoned vehicle report in October 2023, though this was not directly connected to the building itself.

Risk rating

How 2003 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
43th percentile

Out of 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 549 are predicted to be safer.
