Initial analysis

The three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 2637-2643 Baker Street in Cow Hollow, owned by Amanda North Revoc Tr, was constructed in 1913 and has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over its history. The most recent major work, ongoing as of late 2024, involves stucco resurfacing of the front facade to address considerable cracking, while earlier this year, a 400-amp underground electrical panel upgrade was completed. There have been multiple instances of water heater replacements, most recently in 2015, following similar work in 2008. The building has faced several concerning structural issues, including foundation shoring work in 2002 due to adjacent construction, rear deck repairs in 2003 due to deterioration and post beetle presence, and more recent instances of unauthorized construction in late 2024 involving sidewalk excavation and scaffolding concerns.

The property has a documented history of building code violations and complaints, particularly relating to safety and maintenance. Notable issues include a serious bathroom leak in 2007 threatening structural safety, multiple instances of construction material blocking fire exits in late 2022, and several routine inspections revealing various compliance matters. A recent sewage back-up incident was reported in October 2024, though this was subsequently resolved. Between 2022 and 2024, there have been multiple complaints about construction activities, some conducted without proper permits, and safety concerns regarding scaffolding. The building underwent significant interior renovations in 2011 that generated complaints about the lack of proper containment, and historical records show security violations requiring the installation of proper deadlatch locks in 2005. The property has also experienced periodic issues with exterior maintenance, including a notable leak repair in 2007 and deck repairs in 2003. A tenant buyout occurred at 2639 Baker Street in September 2021 for $50,000 involving two tenants, though records do not show any such transactions for the other units.

Risk rating

How 2637-2643 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.
