Initial analysis

The two-story, seven-unit apartment building at 2430 Francisco Street in the Marina neighborhood, owned by Bruce Franklin Dilbeck, has undergone several significant improvements and faced notable challenges over its history. Most recently, in late 2024, the building underwent comprehensive electrical upgrades involving the replacement of outdated Federal Pacific Electric (FPE) panels across all units, including units 1 through 7, with new Siemens panels, along with the installation of additional kitchen circuits. These upgrades were part of compliance with insurance requirements and are now complete. The building has successfully completed its mandatory seismic retrofit program, achieving certification of final completion in September 2024, following previous compliance issues that resulted in violation notices in 2023 related to the Soft Story Program. Prior to this resolution, the building had faced various maintenance and safety concerns, including a 2016 complaint about unsafe emergency exit conditions through the garage, and routine housing inspections revealing issues with interior features like a noisy kitchen fan and sagging carpet.

Earlier building history shows attention to maintenance matters, including reroofing work in 1999 and dryrot damage repairs in 1992. The property underwent significant seismic safety improvements starting in 2017, with various building permits showing progress through 2024, including the replacement of moment frames and other structural upgrades. The building's electrical system modernization in 2024 represents the most recent major improvement, with multiple permits showing systematic upgrades across all units. Historical data from 311 calls indicates a general cleaning issue in 2021, which was resolved, and regular routine inspections have been conducted over the years to monitor building conditions.

Risk rating

How 2430 Francisco 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.
