Initial analysis

The property at 1506-1510 Franklin Street is a three-story, four-unit multi-family residential building with ground-floor commercial space, constructed in 1912 and currently owned by the Yee Suey Yeong Trust. The building has undergone several significant accessibility improvements in recent months, with permits filed in November 2023 for installation of power door operators and modification of the entrance to comply with the Accessible Business Entrance Ordinance, including changing the entry door to 36 inches wide and adjusting the apron paving. These improvements, valued at $8,000, are part of a commitment to enhance building accessibility that began in 1992 with the installation of pharmacy services, followed by various infrastructure upgrades including a gas line installation for a water heater in 2022.

The property has experienced recurring issues with encampments in the immediate vicinity, with multiple reports in late 2024 and early 2025, including several instances requiring intervention by the Healthy Streets Operation Center, though most were resolved successfully. Past building maintenance records show routine upkeep, including a 1994 reroofing project and the installation of a canvas awning over the storefront that same year, though those permits have since expired. A fire incident was recorded at the property, classified as a "person in distress, other" situation, with no civilian injuries reported. The building's maintenance history suggests regular upkeep and compliance with safety standards, with no recorded violations or notable safety concerns beyond the aforementioned encampment issues in the vicinity.

Risk rating

How 1506-1510 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.
