Initial analysis

The two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 2586-2588 30th Avenue in the Parkside neighborhood was built in 1939. The property has undergone several significant improvements and faced various compliance issues over the years. Most notably, in 2016, the owners were required to legalize an existing kitchen and in-law unit on the first floor, which had been constructed without proper permits in 2007, with an associated cost of $25,000. The building underwent substantial renovations in 2007, including the conversion of a family room into two bedrooms, bathroom remodeling, and kitchen improvements on both floors, which were properly permitted and cost approximately $29,000. This work was accompanied by electrical and plumbing updates, including the installation of new circuits, lighting, switches, outlets, and bathroom facilities on both floors, as well as upgrades to the water heater and furnace.

Recent activity at the property includes multiple 311 calls in early 2025 related to structural maintenance, garbage and debris issues, and various municipal service requests, though these appear to mainly concern the surrounding area rather than the building itself. The property has experienced five documented fire-related incidents since 2008, though none resulted in civilian injuries. The most recent fire violation from November 2023 related to building contact information appears to have been rescinded, along with several other violations from 2019 related to life safety equipment at a different address (1801 Vicente Street). While there have been various building complaints and violations over the years, including issues with permits and potentially unauthorized construction work, many of these issues appear to have been resolved promptly. The property has also participated in two tenant buyouts, most recently in 2022 for approximately $42,730.38 involving two tenants at 2558 30th Avenue.

Risk rating

How 2586-2588 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.
