Initial analysis

The three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 3218-3222 21st Street in San Francisco's Inner Mission, owned by Tashjian Investments LLC, was built in 1906 and has undergone several significant changes over the years. Most recently, in July 2022, there was a proposed $130,000 conversion of retail space to a limited restaurant (Signy's Pizza), including installation of kitchen equipment and new tile flooring, which is currently filed and awaiting completion. The building has a history of regular maintenance and improvements, including dry rot repairs to the front in 2004 ($3,000), reroofing in 2001 ($13,315), and multiple improvements in 1984 including the installation of a fixed metal awning, new ceiling lighting fixtures, and signage.

The property has experienced some recent neighborhood challenges, particularly in early 2025, with multiple reports (10 in total) of overflowing city garbage cans and debris on the street/sidewalk area, including one report of an abandoned mattress. The building's safety record shows no significant fire incidents or injuries, with the majority of emergency calls related to false alarms, smoke detector activations, and other non-fire-related service calls. Planning records indicate the successful approval of the conversion to limited restaurant use, which was confirmed as a principally permitted use within the Mission Street NCT under PC Sec. 754, with total eating and drinking uses not exceeding 167 within the district. The building's documented history reflects typical urban residential structure maintenance and improvement patterns, with no major safety concerns noted in recent records.

Risk rating

How 3218-3222 21St 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.
