Initial analysis

The two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 2546-2548 Folsom Street in the Inner Mission, owned by the Sakellis Family Trust, has undergone significant renovations and maintenance since its construction in 1900. Most recently, in 2019, substantial improvements were made including a $90,000 renovation of the kitchen, living room, and dining room, accompanied by electrical upgrades and new plumbing. The building features several completed bathroom and utility enhancements, including a master bathroom renovation in 2016 ($16,000), the addition of a laundry closet in 2014, and crucial safety improvements in 2015 that included reducing the rear deck size and adding a second means of egress. Notably, the property experienced a significant incident in 2004 when fire damage required replacement of floor joists between the garage and living areas, along with the addition of two water closets, costing $150,000 to repair.

The building's maintenance record shows regular upkeep, including electrical service upgrades, new receptacles, and plumbing improvements such as a house trap repair in 2013. The property has faced some external challenges, including multiple 311 calls regarding parking violations near the property between 2018 and 2024 (with recent calls in 2024 specifically about driveway blocking issues), as well as occasional graffiti incidents in 2021, though these were promptly addressed. The building's infrastructure improvements and renovations demonstrate ongoing investment in maintaining and upgrading the property, with no recorded planning code complaints or building violations.

Risk rating

How 2546-2548 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.
