Initial analysis

This two-story, two-unit multi-family residential building located at 2133-2137 Bay Street in the Marina neighborhood was built in 1927 and is currently owned by the Helen R Brame Revocable Trust. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and infrastructure improvements over the years, with the most recent being a main drain sewer pipe replacement and new house-trap installation performed in May 2024, which included work on both the sidewalk and driveway areas. Other notable plumbing improvements include the removal and replacement of a steam boiler in January 2020, and the renovation of rotted piping in the first-floor kitchen in August 2008. An earlier property maintenance activity included a reroofing project completed in 1993.

The building's recent history shows consistent monitoring and response to parking-related issues, particularly in 2023-2024, with multiple reports of illegal parking and sidewalk blockage. Of the seven parking enforcement incidents recorded since 2019, citations were successfully issued in two cases (June 2021 and October 2019), while there were some instances where officers were unable to locate the offending vehicles. The property has faced some infrastructure challenges, including a sewage backup incident in May 2016, though this issue was promptly resolved by the PUC Sewer Operations team. While there was one encampment cleanup request in June 2020 and a street cleaning report in July 2019, these appear to have been addressed through appropriate channels with no recurrence noted in recent years. The building's maintenance record suggests regular upkeep of critical systems, with particular attention paid to plumbing infrastructure, which has received several updates over the years.

Risk rating

How 2133-2137 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.
