Initial analysis

The 3101-3111 Vicente Street property is a four-story multi-family residential building containing 10 units, constructed in 1990 and currently owned by the Cafferkey Family Trust. The building has undergone several significant fire safety system upgrades in recent years, with the most recent work completed in 2024 involving a $56,800 fire alarm system upgrade to comply with San Francisco Fire Code requirements, followed by a modification to remove certain smoke relay components. The building experienced multiple fire code violations between 2018 and 2024, including issues with sprinkler systems, electrical maintenance, and exit maintenance, though these violations appear to have been generally addressed through proper corrective actions.

The property has faced several mechanical and maintenance challenges, particularly concerning its elevator system, which experienced multiple outages in 2022-2024. In late 2021, the building received multiple violation notices regarding security and maintenance issues, including problems with doors, windows, and roof weatherproofing, though these were abated by March 2023. The building's infrastructure includes a rooftop T-Mobile micro wireless facility that has undergone various modifications and updates between 2005 and 2014. Recent maintenance activities include compliance work for an awning amnesty program completed in 2024.

Risk rating

How 3101-3111 Vicente 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.

Neighborhood percentile

Out of 207 buildings in this neighborhood, 205 are predicted to be safer.
