Initial analysis

The 9-unit, 2-story apartment building at 2455 Ofarrell Street, owned by Eugene Leung and Charlene Lee, has undergone significant renovations and faced various maintenance challenges since its construction in 1953. Most recently, in 2024, Unit 3 received extensive remodeling including kitchen and bathroom renovations, with associated electrical and plumbing updates, plus the installation of a new low-frequency sounder as part of fire safety improvements. The building has a history of systematic unit upgrades, including recent comprehensive fire safety system improvements in 2020 (replacing the fire alarm system and adding low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas), and multiple unit renovations between 2017-2024 that typically included kitchen and bathroom remodels, electrical rewiring, and plumbing updates.

The property has experienced several maintenance and safety issues over the years, though many have been addressed through regular inspections and prompt responses. A notable cluster of building violations was recorded in December 2022, including issues with floor coverings and guardrails, though these were abated by January 2023. Historical complaints from 2003-2020 indicate occasional problems with water intrusion, window maintenance, and heating systems, though most recent records suggest improved conditions. Fire safety has been an ongoing focus, with multiple inspections and corrections related to extinguishers and alarm systems between 2013-2024, including a recent violation issued in July 2024 regarding extinguishers that was abated by October 2024.

Risk rating

How 2455 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.

Neighborhood percentile
