Initial analysis

This three-story, 9-unit multi-family residential building at 280 Euclid Avenue, constructed in 1951, has undergone several significant modifications and faced various maintenance challenges over the years. Most notably, the building completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2014, receiving a Certificate of Final Completion, demonstrating compliance with seismic safety requirements. The property has experienced recurring water-related issues, with multiple water leak reports in 2023-2024, including recent incidents involving water main problems. A 2024 fire alarm system complaint was also recorded and marked as condition corrected.

The building has a history of addressing safety and maintenance concerns, with several completed permits for building improvements including a $25,000 soft-story retrofit, laundry room modifications in 2007 to resolve code violations, and electrical upgrades for grounding systems. Important maintenance actions include roofing work completed in 2005. The property underwent routine housing inspections that revealed various issues requiring attention, including fire safety concerns in 2004 regarding egress, smoke detectors, and gas meter instructions, all of which were abated by June 2004. More recent fire safety inspections between 2016-2024 have identified and resolved multiple concerns, including alarm system maintenance and exit maintenance issues. The building has also addressed pest control problems, as evidenced by a 2009 ant infestation complaint that was resolved, and dealt with moisture-related issues such as a 2007 complaint about mold/rust.

Risk rating

How 280 Euclid Ave'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.
