Initial analysis

The property at 2701-2707 Folsom Street is a 2-story, mixed-use building constructed in 1900, containing 4 residential units and ground-floor retail space. Owned by SF Mission Properties LLC, the building has undergone significant recent modifications, including the conversion of existing retail space into a preschool in 2021, complete with new plumbing fixtures, electrical work, and fire safety systems. The building has experienced various maintenance and compliance issues, particularly in 2019-2020, when it faced multiple housing code violations relating to heating, mold, smoke detectors, lighting, window repairs, and ventilation, all of which were abated by March 2020. The commercial space at 2707 Folsom Street has had a troubled history, with complaints in 2020-2021 about illegal use as a residential unit and nightclub, though these issues appear to have been addressed.

More recent concerns include a 2023 complaint about roof leaks affecting neighboring properties and ongoing maintenance issues regarding graffiti, garbage, and debris, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls throughout 2024. The building's fire safety systems have been regularly updated, most recently in late 2024, with the installation of new alarm systems and smoke detectors. Significant infrastructure improvements were made between 2014-2021, including the installation of fire sprinklers, bathroom facilities, HVAC systems, and various plumbing upgrades, suggesting a program of systematic maintenance and modernization. While there were considerable problems in 2019-2020, records indicate that most major violations have been resolved, though some recent maintenance issues persist.

Risk rating

How 2701-2707 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, 2118 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.

DBI tenant complaints (past 7 years)

Formal complaints tenants filed with DBI about this building over 7 years.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building age

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 14.2%
Moderate concern 63.6%
Severe concern 22.2%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
