Initial analysis

The property at 386 2nd Avenue is a 2-story multi-family residential building with 7 units, constructed in 1900 and located in San Francisco's Inner Richmond neighborhood. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the past two decades, with the most recent being reroofing work completed in 2018 ($9,300) and ADA compliance upgrades in 2015 ($10,000) that included bathroom fixture replacements. Earlier renovations in 2012 addressed both exterior improvements ($20,000) and stairway repairs ($8,500), while 2008-2009 saw various interior and exterior updates including plumbing and electrical work in commercial spaces. A notable historical violation occurred in 2000 regarding illegal locking of fire exit gates in the restaurant's basement, though this was abated by 2001.

The property has experienced some recent changes, with a vacant commercial space noted in August 2023 that appears to be related to the former Mescolanza Italian restaurant. There have been multiple 311 calls in 2024 regarding street conditions around the property, including issues with garbage/debris and manhole covers, though these are primarily municipal infrastructure concerns rather than building-specific problems. The building's most recent ownership change was recorded under the Marina O'shea Revocable Trust. Two permit-related matters are currently suspended as of October 2024, though they pertain to a different location (3750-3754 Geary Blvd) regarding sign removal by Clear Channel LLC. The building's fire safety record shows one alarm activation due to a malfunction, with no civilian injuries reported.

Risk rating

How 386 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.
