Initial analysis

The 327-329 Linden Street property is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1909 in the Hayes Valley neighborhood, currently owned by Linden Street Properties LLC. The building has undergone several significant renovations and improvements over the years, with the most recent project currently underway (as of May 2024) involving the conversion of an existing garage into mercantile space, including new concrete floors, bathroom facilities, and modified entryway, with associated plumbing and electrical work permitted in October 2024. Historical improvements include major electrical rewiring projects in 2006-2008 covering multiple units, kitchen and bathroom remodels, and furnace replacements. The property has experienced several code compliance issues between 2003-2008, primarily relating to fire safety and security requirements, though all violations were eventually resolved by January 2004. A particular incident in 2006 involved unauthorized construction work on the upper floors, though this was also resolved.

Recent concerns have primarily centered around maintenance issues, with multiple 311 calls in late 2024 and early 2025 regarding garbage and debris on the property, including instances of human waste. A routine safety inspection was conducted in 2019, though no active violations were noted. The ground floor's conversion to retail space follows a previous planning approval from 2015, which included specific requirements for storefront design and transparency. The building has been subject to several street space permits between 2008-2018, and there was one unintentional fire alarm activation recorded, though no injuries or actual fire incidents occurred. The property has not experienced any recent tenant buyouts, and there is currently one open noise-related complaint from January 2025.

Risk rating

How 327-329 Linden 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

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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

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 45.3%
Moderate concern 20.3%
Severe concern 34.3%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
