Initial analysis

The two-story, five-unit mixed-use building at 712 Shrader Street, owned by Jansen Street Venture LLC, was constructed in 1904 and includes both residential and commercial spaces. The property underwent significant seismic safety improvements in 2018-2022, completing mandatory soft-story retrofits for both residential ($75,000) and commercial spaces ($20,000) with final inspections obtained in October 2022, demonstrating compliance with San Francisco building code requirements. However, the building has faced multiple maintenance and safety challenges in recent years. In summer 2024, unit 712 reported issues with water intrusion and ceiling leaks, while earlier complaints from late 2024 highlighted problems with heat not reaching the required 70°F. The building has also experienced recurring accessibility issues, particularly affecting its laundromat services, with active complaints regarding blocked entrances and exits in late 2024, along with concerns about unauthorized plumbing work and materials.

The property has a documented history of various building violations from late 2018 through 2019, including issues with mold, window repairs, lead-based paint concerns, and smoke detector requirements, though these were officially abated by March 2019. Recent fire safety inspections have revealed some ongoing concerns, including violations related to posting compliance statements and the 2022 San Francisco Fire Code, though these were marked as abated in April 2023. The building's commercial space underwent ADA improvements in 2022, including new electrical work for an ADA door and related installations. Notably, there was one recorded building fire incident (classified as unintentional) and various alarm activations, though no civilian injuries were reported. Recent maintenance activities include plumbing upgrades and electrical work to improve facilities, though concerns about work being performed without proper permits surfaced in late 2024. The property has also experienced recurring issues with exterior maintenance, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls regarding garbage, debris, and sidewalk cleaning needs throughout 2024-2025.

Risk rating

How 712 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.
