Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family residential building at 2340 Francisco St in the Marina neighborhood, owned by Gloria Fung Tai Tr, contains 12 units and was constructed in 1929. The property has undergone several significant infrastructure upgrades in recent years, including a complete heating system replacement in February 2024 with a new Peerless boiler, a sewer system overhaul in 2017, and domestic water heater replacement in 2014. The building has maintained fire safety compliance with regular inspections, though there have been recurring issues with alarm systems, sprinkler systems, and extinguishers between 2018 and 2024, all of which were either corrected or found to have no merit upon inspection. Historical maintenance records show attention to structural issues, including dry rot repairs to wooden steps in 2003 and reroofing work in 1990.

The property has experienced several safety-related incidents over the years, including routine inspections in 2000 and 2006, which revealed handrail and smoke enclosure door issues (since abated). A notable fire escape condition was reported in 1995, though promptly addressed. Recent parking enforcement records indicate persistent issues with vehicles blocking driveways, with multiple citations issued between 2021 and 2024. The building's management has generally responded promptly to maintenance issues, as evidenced by the relatively quick resolution of most complaints and violations. The most recent fire alarm system complaint from June 2024 was marked as condition corrected, demonstrating ongoing attention to safety systems.

Risk rating

How 2340 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.

Neighborhood percentile
17th percentile

Out of 988 buildings in this neighborhood, 820 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 34.0%
Moderate concern 35.2%
Severe concern 30.8%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
