Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 3459-3461 21st Street in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood is a 1928 two-story structure currently owned by Kip Craig Lvg Tr. The property has undergone several significant upgrades and maintenance work in 2024, including the installation of two tankless water heating units, replacement of the main water service, electrical system upgrades for condo conversion, and various repairs to comply with physical inspection report # CC-8665. These repairs included drywall work in the garage and fixing ceiling holes, with a total cost of approximately $4,500 for the garage-related work alone. The building's infrastructure improvements also encompassed earlier work in 2003-2004, including a complete electrical system upgrade to a new 200-amp service with three meters, and historical maintenance records show multiple reroofing projects from 1991-2003, with the most recent completed in 2003 at a cost of $7,280.

Recent months have seen recurring issues with parking enforcement, particularly concerning driveway blocking incidents, with multiple citations issued between September and December 2024, though some of these calls resulted in officers being unable to locate the offending vehicles. There have also been two reported encampment-related incidents near the property in September-October 2024, with one individual vacating the doorway area. A minor incident was noted regarding an unintentional alarm system activation, though no fires or injuries were reported. The building appears to be receiving proper attention to maintenance and compliance issues, with the most recent permits indicating active management of both building systems and regulatory requirements.

Risk rating

How 3459-3461 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

Out of 1278 buildings in this neighborhood, 588 are predicted to be safer.
