Initial analysis

The 6-unit, 3-story apartment building at 100 2nd Avenue, owned by Edward W & Margaret E Gleas, was built in 1909 and has undergone several significant structural and safety improvements over the years. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017 (at a cost of $80,000) to improve seismic safety, achieving compliance with San Francisco building codes. The property has a documented history of stairway safety concerns, with repairs completed in 2002 (costing $1,600) and historical issues noted in 1987, highlighting ongoing attention to this particular safety feature.

A significant cluster of building violations was recorded in January 2002, including multiple stair repairs, security improvements (such as deadlatch locks and self-closing doors), and window repairs, all of which were abated by June 2002. The building has undergone regular safety inspections by Housing Inspection Services in 1999, 2002, 2003, 2010, and 2016, demonstrating consistent oversight of building conditions. Recent activity around the property includes multiple encampment reports from November 2024 and ongoing tree root issues affecting the sidewalk, as documented in August 2023. The building's maintenance history shows attention to basic infrastructure, with a roof replacement completed in 2001 (cost: $15,000) and rear stair repairs in 2002. While the property has had various maintenance issues over the years, there are no active building violations on record at this time, and the most recent soft-story retrofit work has addressed critical seismic safety concerns.

Risk rating

How 100 2Nd Ave'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
