Initial analysis

The 59-unit, 6-story multi-family residential building at 1335 Folsom St, owned by 1335 Folsom LLC, has been subject to significant regulatory scrutiny since its 2018 construction. Most recently, in February 2024, an internal audit led to active building violations regarding several unauthorized modifications, including changes to the Folsom St unit entry, incomplete exterior balcony stairs for ground floor units 101-105 on the Dore St side, an uninstalled sunshade structure on the level 6 balcony, and a roof deck that exceeds its approved size of 1,500 square feet. The building has experienced recurrent fire safety-related incidents, though with no injuries reported; these include false alarms and several cooking-related incidents, with sprinkler/standpipe system issues reported and corrected in both 2018 and early 2023.

The property has generated numerous building complaints and 311 calls regarding surrounding street conditions throughout 2024, primarily related to garbage, debris, and waste on public sidewalks, with multiple cases of human waste/urine recorded in the vicinity. These environmental issues, while external to the building itself, may impact resident experience. The building has undergone various uses and modifications since construction, including a change of use to a full restaurant under Prop H and securing an ABC Type 41 license, though it is unclear how these commercial modifications relate to the residential units. The most pressing current concern remains the active building violations from February 2024, which note non-compliance with several original approvals and require resolution according to San Francisco Building Code provisions.

Risk rating

How 1335 Folsom 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

Model explanation

What's driving this score

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 11.7%
Moderate concern 63.2%
Severe concern 25.1%
