Initial analysis

The 26-unit apartment building at 2700 Folsom Street in San Francisco's Inner Mission, owned by Cristen C Blanding 2011 Tru and constructed in 1964, has undergone numerous significant maintenance and improvement projects in recent years. Most notably, it completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit (Tier 2) in January 2022, and currently has an active reroofing project underway as of October 2024 with a budget of $40,000. Recent interior improvements include kitchen cabinet replacements and popcorn ceiling remediation in multiple units (completed in late 2023), along with water heater installations in 2022. The building has faced several historical maintenance challenges, particularly in 2017 when multiple violations were recorded regarding water damage, interior surfaces, heating issues, and fire safety concerns, though these were abated by September 2017.

More recent concerns include two active complaints from 2024 regarding unauthorized work and unsafe construction practices, specifically involving dangerous debris handling and permitting compliance. There have been recurring issues with fire safety systems, including a violation issued in May 2024 regarding sprinkler/standpipe systems, and a November 2023 violation concerning sleeping area requirements. The building has undergone various exterior improvements, including clap board siding installation in 2017 and dry rot repairs in 2021. Recent maintenance measures have included regular water heater replacements and attention to interior finishes. The property has experienced periodic issues with garbage and debris accumulation in the surrounding area, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls, though these are generally external to the building itself.

Risk rating

How 2700 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, 2285 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.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Number of units

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

NOV rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building NOV rate across everything this owner manages — high rates signal pattern neglect.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 4.9%
Moderate concern 72.4%
Severe concern 22.7%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
