Initial analysis

The property at 2335-2337 Balboa St is a 2-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Central Richmond neighborhood. Originally constructed in 1948, the building has undergone significant modifications over the years, with the most notable recent work focused on fire safety improvements. Between 2020-2022, the building received comprehensive fire safety upgrades including the installation of ten sprinkler heads, a dedicated 2-inch fire line, and a sprinkler monitoring system, with associated costs exceeding $20,000. In 2019, a controversial modification occurred when the property attempted to add a third unit (a studio) in violation of its original R-3 occupancy classification, leading to an active housing code violation complaint filed in January 2019 regarding unauthorized dwelling unit conversion, kitchen installation, and other unsafe conditions including water damage and possible structural concerns.

The building has seen substantial interior improvements, including a ground floor bathroom and laundry room addition in 2010, and significant renovations to Unit #2337 in 2009 comprising kitchen and bathroom updates. Most recently, in July 2023, the water heater was raised per inspector requirements. The property has experienced numerous garbage and debris issues recently, with multiple 311 calls (ten in total) regarding overflowing city garbage cans between December 2024 and January 2025, though these are external municipal service issues rather than building-specific problems. A property management and safety compliance matter remains, as there is a current open complaint regarding incomplete inspections related to permit #201904299248, filed on November 30, 2023.

Risk rating

How 2335-2337 Balboa 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.
