Initial analysis

The property at 2400 30th Avenue is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building with commercial space, constructed in 1948 in the Parkside neighborhood. The building's documented history shows maintenance activities including a completed reroofing project in 1992 and a completed basement conversion for office space in 1983. Two electrical overload incidents were reported in 2021, though these complaints were resolved through the appropriate electrical inspection and housing services. Most recently, in March 2023, the property was listed as having a vacant commercial space, which is no longer an active concern.

In the past year (2024-2025), the property has experienced several maintenance and cleanliness issues, primarily involving the sidewalk and street areas around the building. These include multiple reports of garbage and debris (most recently in January 2025), graffiti on public surfaces including the sidewalk and fire hydrant (with one case still open as of June 2024), and a missing side sewer vent cover. There was also one incident involving parking enforcement, where an officer was unable to locate the reported vehicle. While these issues primarily affect the public areas around the building rather than the building structure itself, they do indicate ongoing maintenance challenges in the property's immediate vicinity.

Risk rating

How 2400-2402 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

Out of 255 buildings in this neighborhood, 201 are predicted to be safer.

DBI tenant complaints (past 7 years)

Formal complaints tenants filed with DBI about this building over 7 years.

Neighborhood location

12-Month severity forecast

Moderate concern 32.6%
Severe concern 50.7%
