Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 2153-2157 Bay Street in the Marina neighborhood, owned by Moscone Lvg Tr, was constructed in 1928 and consists of two stories. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and safety improvements over the years, with the most recent notable work being a comprehensive electrical upgrade completed in 2022 that included replacing a 100-amp main electrical service with two meter electric service and swapping fuse panels for breaker panels with proper grounding and bonding. The building has a documented history of addressing structural issues, particularly regarding exterior elements, with repairs to dry rot in the rear deck and back stairway structure completed in 2010-2011. Additional maintenance work includes the installation of four windows in 1999 and roofing work performed in 1996, though the roofing permit expired without confirmation of completion date.

The building's history shows regular compliance with housing inspections, with routine inspections recorded in 2000, 2009, and 2014, though none of these inspections are currently active. More recently, there have been multiple parking-related issues documented through 311 calls in 2024, including several instances of vehicles blocking driveways and parking on sidewalks, though enforcement officers were often unable to locate the vehicles in question. The property experienced one recorded fire safety incident involving a smoke detector activation with no fire or injuries, though the date of this incident is not specified in the records. While the building has had its share of maintenance needs, particularly regarding exterior structures, the property appears to be actively maintained with recent major system upgrades and regular response to repairs as needed.

Risk rating

How 2153-2157 Bay 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

Out of 988 buildings in this neighborhood, 514 are predicted to be safer.
