Initial analysis

The property at 2454-2456 Francisco Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in the Marina neighborhood, built in 1927 and currently owned by Steven L. & Gerri H. Grossman. The building has undergone significant renovations since 2021, including a major interior renovation project costing approximately $668,000 that added a fourth floor family room, front and rear walkout terraces, and various internal modifications. More recent improvements include the installation of a residential fire sprinkler system (2024), new HVAC systems with multiple fan coils and heatpump (2024), and electrical upgrades including rewiring and panel replacements (2024).

The property has a complicated history regarding its unit configuration. Between August 2021 complaints were filed regarding unauthorized conversion from two units to one unit through the construction of an internal staircase between ground and first floor levels, though this work was later permitted under various permits and revisions. The building has also seen substantial infrastructure improvements, including the addition of four new bathrooms, a new boiler system, and solar panel installation in 2018. Recent concerns involve an active complaint from January 2025 regarding potentially unsafe welding on the exterior/roof, and there have been multiple parking-related complaints in 2024, though these are not directly related to building conditions.

Risk rating

How 2454-2456 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.
