Initial analysis

The 4-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 2819 Baker Street in Cow Hollow, owned by Baker Street Investments LLC, has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects since its construction in 1923. Most recently, in 2019, the building received an upgrade to its exterior appearance with the installation of 10 high-quality wood-clad windows on the facade, replacing aluminum units, with an additional 2 side windows not visible from the street. The property has maintained regular compliance with safety requirements, addressing various issues promptly, including back exit stair repairs in 2014 to ensure unobstructed egress. The building underwent multiple kitchen and bathroom improvements between 1995 and 2000, with some permits expiring but likely completed based on subsequent improvements.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to compliance with safety standards, though there were some notable issues between 2006-2016, including concerns about electrical outlets, possible termite infestation, and various code compliance matters that were all ultimately resolved. Earlier records from 1995-2000 show issues such as heating problems and questions about storage area sprinkler systems, which were addressed. The property has experienced minimal recent complaints or violations, with only two excessive noise complaints filed in August 2024 currently remaining open. Regular routine inspections by Housing Inspection Services have generally resulted in prompt resolution of any identified issues, with the most recent significant work being the 2019 window replacement project. Recent activities primarily relate to external matters not directly affecting resident safety or building conditions, including a 2022 rent board inquiry and a 2019 graffiti incident that were both resolved.

Risk rating

How 2819 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

Out of 861 buildings in this neighborhood, 491 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

12-Month severity forecast

Moderate concern 19.7%
Severe concern 29.2%
