Initial analysis

The property at 2476 Harrison Street in San Francisco's Inner Mission is a two-story multi-family residential building owned by Richard Bland Lee Carter, containing three units and built in 1890. The building has undergone several significant improvements in recent years, including a major electrical upgrade in 2019 when three Federal Pacific sub panels in the ground floor unit were replaced, and comprehensive exterior maintenance in 2013 consisting of re-roofing, wooden shingle replacement, and waterproofing work on the main entrance stairway. Historical records show some concerning events, including a fire incident in 1997 requiring repairs, and dry rot issues in 1989 involving front stairs repairs. The building also underwent a sewer repair in 2008, indicating attention to infrastructure maintenance.

The property has experienced multiple fire safety inspections and complaints, with documented violations in March 2020 related to exits and storage pathways, though this was later abated. Prior fire safety issues in 2011 regarding alarm systems and extinguishers were reportedly corrected the same day. Recent months have seen various maintenance and operational issues in the surrounding area, including multiple open cases related to park patrols, shared spaces violations, and a structural maintenance matter in March 2024. While these external issues don't directly affect the building's safety systems, they provide context to the property's urban environment. The most recent fire complaint in September 2023 was found to have no merit, suggesting current fire safety systems are functioning properly.

Risk rating

How 2476-2478 Harrison 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
