Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2921 Baker Street is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1968 in the Cow Hollow neighborhood, currently owned by the Argentina Martinelli 2003 Trust. The building's maintenance history shows two roofing projects: one completed in 1988 and another permitted in 1999, though the latter permit has since expired. A significant building complaint was filed in August 2018 regarding an abandoned structure with a broken sliding glass door and an overgrown backyard, though this complaint is currently listed as not active with no record of resolution.

The property has experienced a notable series of parking-related issues in recent years, with multiple documented cases of driveway blocking between 2020 and 2024, resulting in citations being issued in several instances. More recently, in October 2023, there were three consecutive reports of hazardous materials (specifically hazardous waste containers) that were resolved by the Department of Public Works. Prior to this, there were various parking enforcement calls, including a case of illegal parking and a sidewalk parking incident in September 2022, as well as an abandoned vehicle complaint in April 2020 that was related to a driveway blocking issue. While the building has undergone some maintenance in the past, the concerning state of the exterior in 2018 and the recent hazardous materials reports suggest some ongoing maintenance and safety concerns that may impact the resident experience.

Risk rating

How 2921 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.
