Initial analysis

The property at 2115-2117 Taraval Street is a mixed-use building located in San Francisco's Parkside neighborhood, consisting of two residential units above commercial space. Originally built in 1926, the building underwent significant redevelopment in 2010 when plans were approved to construct a new 4-story mixed-use structure, with permits showing costs of $780,000 for the new construction and $6,000 for demolition of the existing structure. Multiple fire safety violations were documented between 2016 and 2020, including issues with sprinkler systems, blocked exits, and combustible materials, though most were promptly corrected. The building experienced some fire alarm system activations with no actual fires in 2006, 2018, and 2019.

Recent maintenance issues have been documented through 311 calls, particularly regarding sidewalk cleanliness and graffiti, with multiple reports of garbage and debris on the property's perimeter between October 2024 and December 2024. Two significant tenant buyouts were recorded, one in 2019 for $25,000 involving 2 tenants at a nearby address (3032 Ulloa Street), and another at 2126 Taraval Street, though the details of this transaction were not specified. The building's electrical infrastructure was modernized in 2006 with the installation of an underground service connection. Planning records indicate the property's original dimensions were 2,150 square feet, with proposed plans for a 5,000 square foot mixed-use building.

Risk rating

How 2115-2117 Taraval 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.
