Initial analysis

The two-story multi-family residential building at 3012-3014 Pine Street, constructed in 1905 and consisting of three units, has undergone several significant renovations and compliance updates over the past decade. Most notably, in 2018, a partial fire sprinkler system was installed in unit 3014B and the garage, along with a new water meter system, though unit 3014A was intentionally left unsprinklered. This work followed an earlier 2017 permit to legalize unit 3014B under Ordinance 43-14, which included associated plumbing and electrical inspections. The building has seen substantial structural and safety improvements, including a 2015 project to replace a concrete retaining wall, and multiple improvements to outdoor spaces, such as a new two-level deck added in 2014. The electrical system received upgrades with a 200-amp service installation in 2003, and historical records show the installation of smoke detectors and a heat detector in a residential building area.

The property has experienced recurring issues with parking enforcement, particularly between 2021 and 2025, with multiple documented cases of driveway blocking resulting in citations. There was also one documented construction-related complaint in 2015 regarding work start times. A single hazardous condition incident was recorded by fire services, though no civilian injuries were reported. The building's recent 311 calls primarily relate to construction noise, illegal postings, and parking issues, with the most recent being a noise complaint in January 2025. The property's recent history shows active management and compliance with city regulations, though the left-out sprinkler system in one unit and recurring parking issues warrant noting as potential resident concerns.

Risk rating

How 3012-3014 Pine 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
57th percentile

Out of 670 buildings in this neighborhood, 288 are predicted to be safer.
