Initial analysis

The property at 277 Frederick Street is a multi-family residential building constructed in 1906, currently owned by the Peter Francis Taylor Living Trust. The building has undergone minimal documented infrastructure work over the past several years, with the most recent maintenance being the replacement of a 40-gallon gas water heater in January 2024. A sewer line repair on the adjacent sidewalk was completed in February 2010. The period from August 2024 to January 2025 has seen numerous quality of life concerns in and around the property, including multiple incidents of graffiti (seven reported cases), several garbage and debris complaints, and one parking enforcement call. While these incidents indicate some neighborhood maintenance challenges, none involved direct threats to resident safety.

The building's fire incident record shows three responses in 2024: one for arcing or shorted electrical equipment (a potentially concerning situation, though no injuries were reported), one for a service call related to unspecified equipment, and one false alarm. Notably, both plumbing permits and fire incidents are relatively low for a century-old building, suggesting routine maintenance rather than any significant systemic issues. The property's unit count is listed as 0, which may require verification as multi-family residential properties typically contain multiple units. The building's age and permit history indicate general maintenance practices are being followed, with particular attention to plumbing systems demonstrated by the recent water heater replacement and historical sewer repairs.

Risk rating

How 275 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
