Initial analysis

The three-story, 17-unit multi-family residential building at 355 Euclid Avenue, built in 1976 and currently owned by the Fergus Patrick & Mary Trust, has undergone several significant safety system upgrades in recent years. Most notably, in 2022, the building received a comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade costing $39,000, which included new panels, monitoring systems, pull stations, lobby annunciation, and smoke detectors in common areas. This was followed by a 2022 revision to replace wireless low frequency sounders with hard-wired versions, and an electrical permit in 2023 for the same purpose. The building has also demonstrated proactive maintenance with a 2014 project that installed new prefinished siding and 14 windows at a cost of $35,000.

The property has experienced periodic fire safety concerns, with multiple fire complaints between 2016 and 2023 regarding blocked exits, alarm systems, and sprinkler systems, though most were found to have "No Merit" or were corrected promptly. A significant complaint was filed in June 2023 regarding junk blocking doorways and creating fire hazards. Historical records from 2011 show a fire safety violation regarding combustible storage, though this was abated promptly. The building's systems have generally been well-maintained, with no recorded fire incidents resulting in civilian injuries, though there have been several false alarm activations. Recent infrastructure issues in the vicinity include an open case for sewer odors from a manhole cover (opened September 2024) and a curb defect (opened October 2024), which are municipal rather than building-specific issues.

Risk rating

How 355 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.

Neighborhood percentile
11th percentile

Out of 272 buildings in this neighborhood, 242 are predicted to be safer.
