Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family residential building at 1625-1629 Folsom Street, owned by Navarro Family Living Trust, was constructed in 1907 and contains three units. The property experienced significant safety-related issues in July 2011, when multiple violations were documented regarding fire safety equipment, including missing smoke detectors and fire extinguishers, though these violations were resolved by October 2011. A previous routine safety inspection from May 2008 also raised concerns about fire extinguishers within the units. The building underwent street space permit processes in July 2012.

Recent external maintenance issues include a collapsed sidewalk reported in March 2024, which was resolved but noted as a duplicate case requiring attention from the Water Department. The property has experienced recurring street cleaning challenges, with multiple reports of loose garbage in 2020-2021, and there have been two documented instances of driveway blocking, most recently in November 2021. Other street maintenance issues have included hazardous materials (glass) in January 2021 and historical sidewalk problems noted in December 2018 for both lifted and damaged utility vault frames, though these were resolved promptly. A potential overcrowding or illegal hotel use complaint was filed in July 2011, but this was also marked as resolved by October 2011.

Risk rating

How 1625-1629 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.
