Initial analysis

The property at 2682-2686 Great Highway is a two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1968, containing four units and featuring both flat and store spaces. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and safety upgrades over the years, with the most recent major work being a house trap and storm drain installation completed in 2020, as well as a deck repair project in 2016. Historical records show attention to fire safety, with a complete fire escape replacement in 2004 following a complaint about rust, although there was also a violation in 2004 regarding ladder maintenance that required multiple notices before being resolved in 2005. The building's infrastructure has seen consistent maintenance, including two roof replacements (2006 and 2016), and in 2005, an underground electrical service conversion was completed.

Recent activity around the property has primarily involved external infrastructure issues, with several 311 calls in 2024 regarding sidewalk defects, tree damage, and parking violations. There have been two building complaints in 2020 about non-essential construction work during what appears to be a period of restricted construction, though these were subsequently addressed. The most recent fire-related incident recorded was a false alarm, with no civilian injuries reported. The property has maintained compliance with safety regulations, and most recent complaints have been handled promptly through appropriate city departments, though there are currently open issues regarding a damaged tree and collapsed sidewalk from 2024.

Risk rating

How 2682-2686 Great Hwy'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
