Initial analysis

Located in San Francisco's Parkside neighborhood, 2401 32nd Avenue is a two-story, multi-family residential building constructed in 1907, currently owned by the Family Trust Under Williams, containing three units with a flat and store configuration. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the years, including a comprehensive kitchen and bathroom remodel in 2016 costing $38,000, which included electrical upgrades such as rewiring, new light fixtures, and a sub-panel installation, and previously suffered from fire damage in 2001 that required $21,000 in repairs. More recent maintenance includes a $29,800 reroofing project completed in 2018, demonstrating ongoing upkeep by the owners.

The property has experienced some safety and maintenance concerns over its history, most notably a sprinkler system issue reported in 2022 that was corrected by January 2023, and an unspecified fire-related complaint in 2017 that was also resolved. Recent activity around the property shows ongoing challenges with waste management, particularly in early 2025, with multiple reports of garbage, debris, and abandoned Christmas trees on and near the property, though these were generally resolved by city services. The building's historical records show minimal major incidents beyond the fire damage in 2001 and a brief period of illegal unit concerns in 2001, suggesting reasonable stability over recent decades.

Risk rating

How 2401 32Nd 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.
