Initial analysis

The 312-314 Liberty Street property is a four-story, multi-family residential building constructed in 1970, currently owned by Erica Simmons LLC, containing two units in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood. The building has undergone substantial renovations and improvements over the past decade, with the most significant recent work occurring in 2020, involving interior renovations, stair layout modifications, window replacements, and installation of a new mechanical cooling system at a cost of $400,000. The property has received comprehensive updates including the installation of a 13D fire sprinkler system in 2014, radiant heating throughout, multiple kitchen and bathroom remodels, and the addition of solar panels (6 modules in 2014, later expanded to 20 modules).

Recent tenant experience has been impacted by construction-related noise complaints, with two significant complaints filed in 2022 and 2024 regarding construction work near windows and excessive noise. However, the building has maintained a generally active permit history with completed electrical rewiring, plumbing updates, and HVAC improvements. The property is currently facing several environmental maintenance issues, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in 2024 regarding damaged trees, sprinkler system problems, and graffiti. While there have been some tenant complaints regarding construction noise and potential permit scope violations in 2015, these issues appear to have been resolved through the appropriate channels. The most recent activity indicates ongoing work related to sprinkler system and radiant heat updates, though some plumbing permits from 2021 are listed as expired while other related permits were successfully renewed in 2022.

Risk rating

How 312-314 Liberty 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 1278 buildings in this neighborhood, 907 are predicted to be safer.
