Initial analysis

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 224-228 Shrader Street in the Park North neighborhood, built in 1907, has undergone several significant renovations and faced notable maintenance challenges over the past two decades. Most recently, in January 2023, a bathroom renovation was completed at a cost of $20,552, including the installation of a shower pan and retiling. However, there is a concerning recent complaint from January 2024 reporting inoperative electrical systems, lack of heat, and pest issues on the second floor, which had not been resolved as of the complaint date. The building has a documented history of dry rot issues, particularly affecting the common area stairs in 2013, which required repairs costing $5,000 to ensure safety. Major renovation work was performed in 2005-2006, including substantial electrical rewiring, kitchen and bathroom remodels in multiple units, and the installation of new lighting systems.

The building's maintenance record shows periodic inspections and repairs, including fireplace installations in 2007 and 2020, and historical electrical upgrades. In 2010, the property faced multiple violations related to damaged ceilings and fire safety concerns regarding combustible storage, though these were abated by March 2010. Earlier building improvements included comprehensive kitchen and bathroom remodels, followed by various plumbing and electrical updates. The structure has maintained active ownership by the Cornell Family Trust and remains classified as a TIC building with four units or less, despite officially having three units listed. Recent 311 calls from 2014 through 2018 indicate typical urban maintenance issues including tree pruning, lighting, and general cleaning concerns, though these are not directly related to building condition.

Risk rating

How 224-228 Shrader 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.
