Initial analysis

340 Baker Street is a two-story, 9-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1960 and currently owned by Helen Fyodorov. The building has undergone significant improvements over the past decade, with the most recent major work being a comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade completed in 2024 (cost: $39,388) to comply with San Francisco Fire Code requirements. The property has shown consistent maintenance and renovation activity, including major unit remodels between 2014-2022. Notable improvements include seismic retrofitting work completed in 2016 (cost: $35,000), which involved installing new shearwalls and holddowns, as well as laundry room relocations, bathroom and kitchen remodels across multiple units, and complete rewiring of units 6 and 8 in 2022. The building achieved **Soft Story Tier 3** compliance status, with the work completed and Certificate of Final Completion issued.

The building's maintenance history shows proactive management practices, with multiple routine safety inspections conducted between 2000-2023, none of which revealed persistent violations. While there were several violations noted in 2006 related to fire safety and interior surfaces, these were all successfully abated by August 2006. Recent inspections in 2023 and historical records indicate good building upkeep, though there have been recurring issues with street-related matters (as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in 2024) which are external to the building's management. The property has undergone comprehensive unit renovations, electrical upgrades, and plumbing improvements over the years, demonstrating ongoing investment in maintaining and upgrading the building's infrastructure and resident amenities.

Risk rating

How 340 Baker 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

Out of 797 buildings in this neighborhood, 733 are predicted to be safer.
