Initial analysis

The three-story, 13-unit multi-family residential building at 2128-2130 Market Street in Duboce Triangle, owned by Fireman Properties One LLC, has undergone significant recent renovations, with the most notable being comprehensive kitchen remodels in Units #5 (completed 2024) and #12 (completed 2023), including new cabinets, countertops, appliances, and electrical subpanels. In addition to the interior upgrades, a new domestic hot water boiler was installed in July 2024. The building has a documented history of maintenance and upgrades stretching back to 1995, including a reroofing project in 2009, window replacements in 2004, and various other improvements.

The property experienced a cluster of violations in 2003, primarily related to building maintenance and safety systems, including issues with hot water, water-damaged walls, window frames, and fire safety equipment, all of which were abated by March 2016. More recent concerns include a 2018 citation for failure to comply with soft story requirements, which was resolved in 2019. The building has maintained an active maintenance schedule, with multiple units receiving updates over the past decade. Recent complaints (2022-2025) have primarily concerned common area maintenance and exterior issues such as graffiti and debris, though these have all been resolved. Application records indicate a historical use as a bakery and deli from the 1990s, and two minor fire incidents were recorded, though neither resulted in injuries or significant damage.

Risk rating

How 2128-2130 Market 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 287 buildings in this neighborhood, 241 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Building size

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

Number of units

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

NOV rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building NOV rate across everything this owner manages — high rates signal pattern neglect.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 24.4%
Moderate concern 45.7%
Severe concern 29.9%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
