Initial analysis

The three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 241 Ashbury Street in Park North, owned by Ryan A. Mcneill, has undergone significant improvements and maintenance since its construction in 1907. The property has seen regular updates to its units, with the most recent renovations occurring in 2020-2022, including a comprehensive kitchen remodel in Unit 1 ($21,000), bathroom renovations in 2017-2018, and various plumbing and electrical upgrades. Major infrastructure work includes replacement of all plumbing fixtures in multiple bathrooms (2018), unit-specific kitchen renovations (2005-2006), window replacements in Unit 2 (2008), and a reroofing project (2008). The building's electrical system received substantial upgrades in the mid-2000s, including a new electrical panel installation and service upgrades, while the plumbing systems have been consistently maintained and improved over the years.

The property has maintained compliance with safety regulations following a routine safety inspection in July 2017 and a 2002 inspection that identified and promptly addressed smoke detector and gas meter information requirements. Although there were some graffiti incidents reported in 2016-2021 and occasional street cleaning issues, these have been resolved through normal municipal channels. The building's foundation was reinforced with bolts and steel straps in 1991, providing additional structural stability. Recent maintenance activities have focused on modernizing unit interiors while preserving the building's historical character, with particular attention to kitchen and bathroom improvements across all three units.

Risk rating

How 241 Ashbury 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
56th percentile

Out of 797 buildings in this neighborhood, 351 are predicted to be safer.

12-Month severity forecast
