Initial analysis

The three-story, two-unit residential building at 2691 Union Street in San Francisco's Cow Hollow neighborhood is a historic structure dating back to 1906, currently owned by Stewart & Field Real Estate. The property has undergone two significant exterior maintenance projects in recent years, with the most substantial being a $30,000 siding replacement project completed in April 2019, which involved removing damaged wood shingle siding and installing Hardy Plank materials on the building's rear facade (approximately 1,800 square feet), with the work being performed in kind and noting that the repairs are not visible from the street. Earlier that same year, in August 2019, a streetspace permit was issued, though no cost was associated with this particular permit.

The building's maintenance record shows attention to necessary repairs, particularly regarding the building's external facade. The property has had only two documented 311 calls in recent years, both occurring in 2019. The first was an encampment report in August 2019, which was investigated and determined to have no encampment present in the area. More recently, in February 2023, there was a report of illegal postings (affixed improperly) which was addressed and closed by the Department of Public Works. The relatively limited number of complaints and their resolution through proper channels suggests routine urban neighborhood challenges rather than any building-specific issues.

Risk rating

How 2691 Union 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, 172 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 83.0%
Moderate concern 12.4%
Severe concern 4.6%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
