Initial analysis

The property at 2342-2348 Market Street in the Duboce Triangle neighborhood is a 4-story mixed-use building constructed in 1907, containing three residential units and commercial space, currently owned by the Donald L Kafka Living Trust. The building has undergone numerous significant modifications and maintenance work over the years. Most recently, facade improvements are underway as evidenced by a tile installation permit filed in May 2024, along with electrical upgrades including a new sub-panel and circuits completed in same month. The building's historical significance includes being home to several notable bars and entertainment venues, such as Jet and Trigger, with various expansion and renovation projects documented through planning records.

The property has experienced multiple regulatory and safety-related events, including fire safety concerns. In early 2023, there were two complaints about overcrowding in the place of assembly, with one being marked as "Condition Corrected." Previous fire safety records show several shared space-related issues between 2021-2023. The building underwent substantial improvements in 2008-2009, including the installation of a 35-head fire sprinkler system and significant electrical upgrades including a 300-amp service change. Historical building code violations primarily related to unpermitted construction and unauthorized sprinkler installations were resolved by 2012. Recent maintenance patterns show active management, with ongoing attention to building systems as evidenced by the 2024 electrical upgrades and facade improvements, though there have been some concerns about the surrounding area as indicated by multiple recent 311 calls regarding encampments and debris near the property, with the most recent complaint being about graffiti in December 2024.

Risk rating

How 2342-2348 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.
