Initial analysis

The property at 2401 30th Avenue in the Parkside neighborhood is a mixed-use, single-story building constructed in 1954, containing 2 residential units plus commercial space, that underwent a retail store addition with rear expansion in 1985. The building has experienced several maintenance and environmental issues in recent months, particularly between November 2024 and January 2025, with multiple reports of garbage and debris on nearby streets and sidewalks, though these cases were generally resolved promptly. There have been recurring incidents of graffiti affecting both public property and telecommunications infrastructure in the vicinity, with the most recent cases documented in December 2024 and January 2025.

The building's safety history includes two fire code violations recorded in January 2006, pertaining to blocked exit corridors/enclosures and improper combustible storage, though both violations were subsequently closed. A general hazardous materials complaint was filed and resolved in November 2005, and another uncategorized fire complaint resulted in a violation being issued in January 2006. More recent building-specific issues appear minimal, with only one documented infrastructure concern regarding a missing side sewer vent cover in December 2024, though city inspectors found no evidence of the reported problem. The property's maintenance history suggests a pattern of street-level service issues in the immediate area, particularly regarding waste management, which have required multiple city agency interventions over the past several months.

Risk rating

How 2401 30Th 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.

Neighborhood percentile
