Initial analysis

The three-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 2031 Balboa St in the Central Richmond neighborhood was constructed in 1983 and is currently owned by Toy Mona M & Janet & Victor. The building underwent significant scrutiny in August 2000 when multiple fire safety violations were documented during a routine inspection, including requirements for smoke detectors in the lobby and stairs, automatic fire sprinklers over garbage receptacles, and issues related to combustible storage. These violations were all addressed and formally abated by October 20, 2000. Since then, the building has undergone two additional routine housing inspections, one in 2008 and another in 2015, though no significant violations were recorded in these subsequent inspections.

More recent events related to the property's surroundings include a 2020 report about an overgrown street tree, which was noted by city officials as part of their long-term maintenance schedule under the StreetTreeSF program. Other minor incidents in the vicinity include a 2017 animal control service request, a 2016 report of graffiti on a pole, and a 2015 general cleaning request for the street and sidewalk areas, all of which were handled and resolved by respective city departments. Importantly, there have been no recorded building violations or safety concerns in the past 23 years, and all permitted work appears to have been completed successfully.

Risk rating

How 2031 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.

Neighborhood percentile
