Initial analysis

The property at 3371 21st Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood, built in 1900 and currently owned by the Krakower Family Trust. The building has a documented history of sewer-related issues, with four sewer backup incidents reported between 2021 and 2024, including the most recent occurrence in January 2024. The electrical system was updated in 2003 with an underground service conversion to a 100-amp, two-meter system. A significant building complaint was filed in July 2000, detailing multiple maintenance issues including pest problems, unsanitary kitchen conditions, inadequate heating, window problems, and security concerns with the sliding door, though this complaint was marked as abated on the same day. More recent infrastructure concerns include tree maintenance issues near the building in 2024, with one case still open as of June 2024. The property has undergone limited documented improvements, including a reroofing project from 1994, whose permit has since expired.

The building has experienced recurring maintenance challenges, particularly relating to the sewer system, with multiple service requests showing consistent problems with the 4-inch sewer vent. Other documented incidents include vehicle parking violations in October 2022 and a complaint about waste receptacle management in March 2021, though these were resolved with no ongoing implications for residents. The property's age and limited record of major renovations or improvements since the turn of the century suggest it may be operating with relatively dated infrastructure systems, though the electrical update in 2003 indicates some modernization efforts have been made. The significant period between the initial building complaint in 2000 and subsequent incidents suggests that while the property has faced various maintenance challenges, these have generally been addressed through normal municipal service channels.

Risk rating

How 3371 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
63th percentile

Out of 1278 buildings in this neighborhood, 473 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 (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

Building age

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

Neighborhood location

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 81.6%
Moderate concern 12.0%
Severe concern 6.4%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
