Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2960 21st Street in San Francisco's Inner Mission district is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1904, currently owned by Church Resource Ministries. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past decade, with the most substantial renovations occurring in 2019, including a comprehensive $120,000 remodel of the kitchen and bathrooms, including plumbing upgrades for new fixtures and a gas furnace installation with ductwork replacement. The building benefited from electrical upgrades in 2019, including rewiring of the kitchen, two bathrooms, and living room, though there are records of some older infrastructure work including a 2013 reroofing project and 2012 repair of wooden stair stringers.

The property has experienced recurring issues with street cleanliness, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls between 2021 and 2024, primarily related to human/animal waste and general garbage concerns in the vicinity of the building. Notably, there was an incident of graffiti on the building in April 2023, though this was addressed under the COVID-19 enforcement suspension period. The most recent street cleaning issue was reported in December 2024 regarding garbage and debris, which was resolved with no additional work required. While the building has maintained reasonable structural integrity with regular maintenance and improvements, the surrounding area has faced ongoing challenges with street sanitation that may impact resident experience.

Risk rating

How 2960 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.
