Initial analysis

30 Liberty Street is a two-story, six-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1925 located in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood. The property has undergone significant recent improvements, with major renovations completed in 2024 including a comprehensive $300,000 kitchen and bathroom remodel in all units, the addition of a new automatic fire alarm system ($30,500), and the installation of a sprinkler system throughout the ground floor ($28,297). The building's seismic safety compliance has been a persistent issue; while major soft-story retrofit work was finally completed in 2022 at a cost of $80,000, the building remains listed as Non-Compliant under Tier 3 of the Mandatory Soft Story Program, with an active violation filed in June 2020.

The property has seen substantial modernization efforts in recent years, including the addition of a ground floor ADU (2018) and comprehensive electrical and plumbing upgrades in 2024. Recent maintenance work has included a new roof installation ($18,700), shear wall adjustments, and various unit improvements. Notable building violations from 2011 related to fire safety concerns (including fire escape maintenance and combustible storage) were resolved, though the current soft-story compliance issue remains outstanding. The building has experienced some construction-related complaints in 2024, including noise issues and a recent complaint about construction employees after hours, though these were promptly addressed and marked as not active. The property has received routine inspections over the years, with records showing ongoing compliance work and improvements, particularly regarding fire safety systems.

Risk rating

How 30 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.
