Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family residential building at 3180-3186 23rd Street in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood, owned by David S. & Jayne Yee, contains 7 units and was constructed in 1900. The property has undergone several significant infrastructure upgrades over the years, including a 400-amp electrical service upgrade completed in 2022, window replacements in 2017, and various foundation repairs between 2002-2003. Recent building safety concerns have emerged in 2024, including multiple active violations related to a garage expansion into the public right-of-way, water damage, and inadequate hot water supply. The building experienced a sequence of maintenance issues between late 2023 and early 2024, notably including an extended gas outage affecting heating and hot water, roof leaks leading to ceiling collapse, and a gas appliance disconnection due to leaks. Historical maintenance records indicate prior attention to structural elements such as exterior stairs and roofing, with some electrical permit issues persisting into 2020 that required relocation of meter sockets and panels.

The property has a documented history of building code violations and housing complaints, with several cases from 2009-2010 addressing security features and window repairs. Recent building inspections have revealed multiple maintenance issues requiring attention, particularly in early 2024, though many of these have since been resolved. The sidewalk and street area surrounding the property has generated several maintenance calls in 2024-2025 regarding debris and graffiti, though these are primarily external to the building itself. Current permit activity includes bathroom remodeling work in a commercial space and efforts to comply with garage door restoration requirements. The property currently operates as a mixed-use building with both residential and commercial spaces, with historical records suggesting a proposed coffee shop use that was approved.

Risk rating

How 3180-3186 23Rd 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.
