Initial analysis

The 3-unit multi-family residential building at 2157-2161 Beach Street in the Marina neighborhood is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1929 and currently owned by the Dina M Fowler Revoc Tr. The building has undergone several significant improvements over its lifetime, including an addition at the rear completed in 1986, earthquake improvements with a steel beam installation in 1990, dryrot repairs in 1989, and a patio door replacement in 2011. However, there are notable active safety compliance issues as of 2016 that remain unresolved, including missing fire extinguishers, lack of carbon monoxide/smoke alarm affidavits, and incomplete fire proofing work. A previous routine inspection in 2006 had identified similar safety concerns that were resolved, indicating recurring maintenance compliance challenges.

Recent municipal service records from 2022 to 2024 show multiple instances of street cleaning needs, parking enforcement requests, and waste management services in the vicinity, though these external issues are generally not related to the building's condition. Of particular note, there was a fire safety inspection in late 2022 regarding blocked exits, which was reportedly corrected by December 6, 2022. The building's maintenance history shows attention to structural and safety improvements, but the presence of unresolved violations from 2016 suggests some ongoing maintenance and safety compliance challenges. An earlier permit from 1998 for reroofing work is classified as expired, and previous major repairs including steps repair were completed in 1990.

Risk rating

How 2157-2161 Beach 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
