Initial analysis

The property at 3189-3191 17th Street is a 2-story, multi-family residential building with 5 units, located in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood. Built in 1906 and currently owned by Bnn LLC, the building has undergone several significant renovations over the past decade. Most notably, in 2013-2014, Unit #2 underwent substantial remodeling including electrical work (general wiring repair, lighting, and receptacles installation), plumbing updates (including tankless water heater installation), and various interior improvements. Important accessibility upgrades were completed in 2014, including the addition of an ADA-compliant restroom and sidewalk improvements, along with the installation of a new furnace in the basement.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to structural and safety concerns, including a repair of earthquake damage in 1990 and various maintenance work throughout the years. Several building violations were recorded in 2005-2008 related to fire safety and security, including issues with combustible storage, fire proofing, egress obstructions, and security requirements, though all these violations were officially abated by October 2005. More recent concerns include a 2020 complaint about a vacant storefront and a 2013 complaint regarding construction work, though both were marked as not active. The building has also experienced multiple smoke detector activations and false alarms, though no actual fires or civilian injuries have been recorded.

Risk rating

How 3189-3191 17Th 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.
