AI summary

The two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 2753-2755 Baker Street in Cow Hollow, owned by the Pawlo Family Trust since July 2007, has a documented history dating back to its 1915 construction. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects, including a $10,000 reroofing project completed in 2000 and deck and fence replacements costing $3,400 completed the same year. In March 2019, the building's furnace was replaced under a plumbing permit, representing the most recent major system upgrade.

The building experienced a code violation in October 2000 related to unauthorized construction of a roof deck, which was abated by December 2000. This period in 2000 appears to have been particularly active regarding modifications to the property, with multiple permits and at least one violation being resolved within approximately two months. More recently, the property has had recurring issues with driveway access, evidenced by five parking enforcement calls between 2018 and 2023, all resulting in citations for vehicles blocking the driveway. An encampment-related report was filed in August 2020 but was determined to be invalid as it did not relate to a formal encampment situation. The building's record shows regular maintenance and improvements being carried out, with no current active violations or pending complaints, suggesting general compliance with building codes and regulations since the 2000 incident.

Risk rating

How 2753-2755 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
69th percentile

Out of 861 buildings in this neighborhood, 267 are predicted to be safer.
