Initial analysis

2139 O'Farrell Street is a 21-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 2011, located in the Anza Vista neighborhood and owned by Tabercle Community Development. The building's construction involved comprehensive safety features including a fire sprinkler system, fire alarm monitoring, and emergency evacuation signage. Since its completion, the building has undergone several significant maintenance and compliance activities, particularly related to boiler permits and fire safety systems. Most notably, there is currently an active violation (opened December 2023) related to sleeping area requirements that requires attention.

The building has a recurring history of boiler permit compliance issues, with multiple violations and complaints filed between 2013 and 2024 regarding unpermitted boiler operations, though these are not currently active. The property has experienced several fire safety-related incidents over the years, including issues with alarm systems, sprinkler systems, and exits, though most were promptly corrected and did not result in significant damage or injuries. Recent 311 calls from 2024 primarily relate to parking enforcement, graffiti, and general maintenance concerns. While there has been regular attention to fire safety systems and building maintenance, including boiler replacements and various system upgrades, the building continues to experience periodic challenges with permit compliance and fire safety inspections, as evidenced by the most recent violations and complaints.

Risk rating

How 2139 Ofarrell 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.
