Initial analysis

The property at 2006-2008 Pierce Street is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building built in 1900, currently owned by Ashford Ventures LLC. The building underwent significant modification in 2008, including the installation of new gas heating systems (three console heaters), extensive electrical upgrades including new panels and circuits, and a plumbing renovation. These improvements followed earlier work in 2007 to restore the building's original configuration as two units, which was permitted at a cost of $250,000. However, major concerns have arisen regarding the building's current condition and compliance with safety regulations. Multiple active building violations were filed in 2022, including issues with illegal unit configuration (an unpermitted basement unit), water damage, improper egress, lack of approved heating, inadequate fire safety materials, and various unpermitted electrical and plumbing work. These violations have been categorized as life hazards and the property has been deemed a nuisance under the San Francisco Housing Code.

The building has a complex history regarding its unit configuration. While historical records show it was originally two units, permits and inspections since 2000 have suggested the presence of unauthorized modifications, particularly the suspected addition of a basement unit. In 2008, substantial infrastructure improvements were made to the building, including a new roof, heating systems, electrical systems, and plumbing work. Recent 311 calls between 2021-2024 primarily relate to parking and street issues, while earlier inspections in 2001 and 2011 were routine and resulted in no significant findings. There have been instances of unauthorized short-term rentals reported at both addresses, though these cases were resolved through informational notices. A water damage complaint from 2022 indicated issues with mold and leaky fixtures in a unit with low ceiling heights. The building's most recent legal issues stem from multiple building violations filed in 2022 related to water damage and unauthorized unit modifications, which have not yet been resolved as of 2023.

Risk rating

How 2006-2008 Pierce 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.
