Initial analysis

The Heeren Family Trust owns the property at 2901-2903 Baker Street, a 5-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building with retail space, constructed in 1906 in San Francisco's Cow Hollow neighborhood. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the past three decades, including a complete reroofing in 2011 costing $24,000, window replacements in 1998, foundation reinforcement in 1991, and electrical system updates in 2007 involving improper conduit replacement. Recent plumbing work includes a sewer section replacement in 2011 and a newly issued permit for mop sink installation in late 2024. A notable historical plumbing issue occurred in 1998 when there were complaints about water coming through the foundation at 2903 Baker Street, though this complaint is no longer active.

The building's recent history shows multiple service calls in 2024, primarily related to parking issues, with several complaints about vehicles blocking driveways, though enforcement officers were often unable to locate the vehicles. There has been one report of construction-related noise and activity in 2024, though this complaint appears to have been generated under an incorrect address. A flooding incident related to sewer issues was reported and transferred for handling in January 2024. The property has received two fire-related responses in the past, one for a chemical spill or leak and another for a false alarm, neither resulting in civilian injuries. The building has a planning record from 2023 showing an ABC referral approval for Type 21 license in conjunction with its existing grocery store use. Additional maintenance issues reported through 311 calls in 2024 include landscaping work and garbage/yard waste management, though these were promptly addressed and resolved.

Risk rating

How 2901-2903 Baker 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
