Initial analysis

The 18-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 2301 Francisco St in the Marina neighborhood was constructed in 1927 and is currently owned by the Leon Survivor's Trust. The property has undergone several significant safety upgrades in recent years, including a major fire alarm system modernization in 2020-2021 that added low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas to comply with San Francisco Fire Department codes, and structural improvements to the garage/storage level completed in 2015 at a cost of $28,000. The building is classified as a Tier 4 soft-story structure, and while it has completed its required seismic improvements with a Certificate of Final Completion issued, it has experienced recurring heating system issues over the past several years.

Of particular concern are multiple documented heating system failures, with the most recent incident reported in December 2024 showing no heat for over a week, and similar complaints in 2022 and 2021 indicating inadequate heating provision according to San Francisco housing code requirements. The building's maintenance history includes several routine inspections and repair work, such as a backflow device replacement in 2015, electrical system upgrades including a new 400-amp service installation in 2010, and various structural improvements in 1990 including foundation work and garage sheathing. While there have been a few fire alarm system activations recorded, none resulted in civilian injuries, and most were due to system malfunctions or false alarms. The property has had typical urban maintenance issues documented through 311 calls, primarily related to street cleaning and parking violations, which are not directly related to building conditions.

Risk rating

How 2301 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
36th percentile

Out of 988 buildings in this neighborhood, 632 are predicted to be safer.
