Initial analysis

The San Francisco Zen Center-owned property at 293-297 Page Street is a three-story multi-family residential building with four units, constructed in 1895 and containing commercial space. Recent major improvements include comprehensive maintenance work completed in late 2023, involving siding replacement on the south and east sides, window upgrades, and water table replacement, with these modifications addressing issues of exterior maintenance and energy efficiency. The building has seen significant commercial space improvements in 2008, including a substantial $120,000 renovation of a coffee shop to a tea lounge with modernized infrastructure, followed by the installation of solar PV panels in 2020, demonstrating ongoing sustainability efforts.

Historical records show some maintenance challenges, including a documented roof leak in 1998 causing interior damage, though this was promptly addressed. The property underwent various utility and infrastructure updates from 2008 onwards, including a new sewer line installation, electrical system upgrades, and kitchen exhaust system improvements. Recent 311 calls, primarily regarding waste management and sidewalk conditions, suggest ongoing environmental maintenance issues in the immediate vicinity, though these are not necessarily reflective of building-specific conditions. The property has maintained compliance with housing regulations, with no active building complaints on file, and recent planning records confirm proper approvals for commercial use and maintenance work.

Risk rating

How 293-297 Page 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 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.
