Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family residential building at 26-30 Steiner Street in Hayes Valley, owned by Bright Winn 2018 Revoc Lvg, was constructed in 1900 and contains 11 units. The building has experienced several significant events throughout its history, most notably a fire incident in June 2006 that affected unit #30 and required substantial repairs including the replacement of damaged plaster, ceilings, windows, and electrical work, costing approximately $15,000. The building underwent several electrical upgrades between 2003-2006, including a 200-amp service upgrade with multiple meters installation. Multiple building violations were recorded in March 2009, primarily concerning fire safety and security issues, including requirements for fire extinguishers, deadlatch locks, and fire escape maintenance, all of which were abated by April 2009. A more recent violation from September 2023 remains active regarding fire extinguisher date tagging.

The property has undergone routine inspections and maintenance work over the years, including stairway clearance and storage removal in 1993, and various electrical upgrades. Recent activity around the building has primarily consisted of municipal service calls regarding street cleaning, parking issues, and garbage concerns, with the most recent calls in 2024 related to debris and garbage management. While there have been numerous 311 calls about the surrounding area, these primarily relate to street maintenance and parking enforcement rather than building-specific issues. A construction-related complaint from April 2020 regarding lack of social distancing was addressed, though it is noted as "Not Active." The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to safety and security requirements, though the active violation from September 2023 regarding fire extinguisher maintenance indicates an outstanding compliance issue.

Risk rating

How 26-30 Steiner 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.
