Initial analysis

The property at 378 Collingwood Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1940, currently owned by the Graham Schneider Living Trust. The building has undergone numerous renovations and maintenance work over the years, with significant improvements including a comprehensive kitchen remodel, bathroom additions, and window upgrades in 2006, followed by various exterior siding repairs in 2014 and most recently in 2024. Electrical upgrades include the installation of a solar system in 2009 and a service upgrade from 125 to 320 amps in 2007. However, recent building complaints filed in October and November 2024 have raised serious concerns about unauthorized construction work, visible from the street, and potential fire safety issues. These complaints suggest continued work without proper permits and inspections, despite previous permits for initial repairs.

The property has a history of unit modifications, including a notable permit in 2000 for removing a non-bearing wall between units, though subsequent complaints in 2023-2024 allege unauthorized changes such as garage conversion and illegal unit merger. The building's exterior and access areas have experienced recurring issues with illegal parking, particularly during 2023-2024, resulting in multiple enforcement calls. Recent maintenance concerns have emerged, including a potentially problematic exterior work in 2024 that allegedly proceeded without proper inspections, though some of these permits were eventually issued in late 2024. A street space permit was issued in 2006, and the property has maintained compliance with various safety upgrades, including the installation of a fire-rated window in 2006, though recent complaints have raised questions about current fire safety compliance.

Risk rating

How 378 Collingwood 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.
