Initial analysis

The three-story, 10-unit multi-family residential building at 3309 21st Street in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood, owned by Clotilde Carcamo Family Revocable Trust, was constructed in 1978 and has undergone significant recent improvements. In 2023-2024, the property completed notable upgrades including the installation of 25 fire sprinklers on the mezzanine floor, a comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade, and the addition of two new residential units at the mezzanine level, which also required improvements to egress, restroom accessibility, and balcony reinforcement. Several major maintenance works were also completed, such as reroofing ($49,000), furnace installations, and electrical upgrades.

The building had several violations and complaints between 2018-2024 that affected resident safety and comfort. Past issues included a cluster of housing code violations in 2018 related to smoke detectors, broken windows, rodent infestation, and door repairs, all of which were abated by 2019. More recent complaints from 2024 indicate concerns with doorbell and security system maintenance, construction debris management, and a violation of soft story compliance. Historical fire safety violations had occurred, including blocked exits and sprinkler system issues, though these were typically promptly corrected. The property has undergone regular maintenance and safety upgrades, as evidenced by multiple building, plumbing, and electrical permits showing continued investment in infrastructure and safety systems. Current active complaints include a vacant commercial storefront issue (as of 2023) and an open noise complaint from January 2025.

Risk rating

How 3309 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.

Neighborhood percentile
