Initial analysis

The two-unit, 1885 Victorian building at 2406-2408 Folsom Street in the Inner Mission, owned by Christine Fong, has undergone several significant renovations and faced some challenges over its recent history. Most notably, in 2017, the property underwent commercial space improvements including ADA accessibility upgrades, conversion from retail to personal services, and installation of an ADA bathroom, with associated electrical work completed by March 2017. Earlier construction activities included kitchen tile work in one of the units in 2015, and there was a roofing project in 1996, though this permit has since expired.

The building experienced a major compliance issue in August 2013, when multiple violations were recorded regarding lead paint hazards, including exterior peeling paint that affected resident safety. These violations, which required proper paint removal procedures and weatherproofing of exterior siding, were all abated by September 2013. More recently, the property has been affected by urban maintenance issues typical of the neighborhood, with multiple 311 calls in 2023-2024 primarily related to street cleaning, including reports of graffiti on public transit structures and instances of garbage and debris requiring removal. A smoke or odor removal situation was recorded by the fire department, though no injuries were reported. The most recent building activity involves street space usage permitted in July 2017, indicating ongoing property maintenance and community engagement.

Risk rating

How 2406-2408 Folsom 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 2380 buildings in this neighborhood, 262 are predicted to be safer.
