Initial analysis

The three-story, six-unit apartment building at 2355 Francisco Street in the Marina neighborhood, owned by Francisco Street Investment, was constructed in 1927 and has undergone several significant improvements over the past two decades. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017 at a cost of $65,000, achieving Tier 4 compliance with a CFC issued status. Between early 2020 and 2021, three units (1, 3, and 6) received substantial renovations including kitchen and bathroom remodeling, new fixtures, appliances, and electrical systems including the installation of tankless water heaters and laundry facilities. During this period, the building also upgraded its fire alarm system to meet San Francisco Fire Code requirements.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to essential infrastructure, including a roof replacement in 2004, water main replacement in 2012, and backflow device installation in 2015. However, there have been several concerning incidents, particularly in 2020 when work was reportedly conducted during shelter-in-place orders, leading to complaints about safety violations. The building experienced some historical issues, including violations in 2002 related to fire safety, heating, and stair repairs, though these were promptly addressed within weeks. More recent complaints include security issues with the front entrance in 2013 and multiple incidents regarding mailbox access between 2012 and 2013. A single fire-related incident was recorded involving a smoke detector activation in 2020, which resulted in no injuries or damage. Regular routine safety inspections have been conducted, with the most recent one recorded in 2016 showing compliance with housing standards.

Risk rating

How 2355 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
