Initial analysis

The 358-360 Frederick Street multi-family residential building, constructed in 1912 and managed by Frederick Street LLC, is a 3-story, 12-unit apartment complex located in the Parnassus/Ashbury Heights neighborhood. The building has undergone several significant renovations in recent years, including the complete replacement of 52 street-facing windows with wood aluminum double-hung windows completed in early 2024 at a cost of $80,000. In early 2024, there were multiple concerning reports about window safety and structure, followed by a significant complaint regarding extensive mold presence in one unit. The building successfully completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit program in 2013 (Tier 3), demonstrating seismic safety improvements.

The property has experienced recurring maintenance and safety issues, particularly concerning fire safety equipment and building systems. Recent fire safety inspections in 2023 revealed issues with extinguishers and exit maintenance, though these were promptly corrected. A 2024 housing inspection identified multiple violations related to fire proofing, electrical systems, combustible storage, lighting, and various compliance affidavit requirements, most of which were resolved by mid-2024. Historical records show earlier maintenance challenges, including stair repairs and self-closing door device issues in 2001. The building's electrical systems have received some upgrades, including new lighting for rear service stairs in early 2024. While recent improvements suggest ongoing maintenance efforts, the pattern of recurring safety inspections and violations indicates a building requiring careful monitoring of its systems and infrastructure.

Risk rating

How 358-360 Frederick 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
