Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2560 Folsom Street in the Inner Mission, owned by Parsons Trust, is a two-story flats/duplex structure built in 1902. The property's maintenance records show regular attention to infrastructure, with significant roofing work completed in both 2018 (at a cost of $17,000) and 2001 ($8,850), demonstrating ongoing upkeep of essential building systems. The building underwent an important electrical improvement in 2004, converting its overhead service to underground, which typically enhances reliability and safety. A street space permit was also issued in 2004, though its specific purpose is not detailed in the records.

Recent activity at the property primarily centers around parking enforcement issues, particularly in September 2022, when there were multiple reports of vehicles blocking driveways and parking on sidewalks, with at least two citations issued as a result. There have been three instances of reported human or animal waste removal requests in late 2022-2023, along with one general cleaning complaint in April 2023, all of which were resolved. While these external maintenance issues were addressed promptly by city services, they relate more to street conditions than building management. The building's documented history shows regular maintenance of major systems, with no recorded violations or safety concerns directly impacting the structure or its residents. The most recent building-related work was the 2018 reroofing project, which was properly permitted and completed according to records.

Risk rating

How 2560 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, 952 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 68.0%
Moderate concern 19.6%
Severe concern 12.4%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
