Initial analysis

615 Minna Street is a three-story, 6-unit multi-family residential building owned by Golden Properties LLC, located in San Francisco's South of Market neighborhood. Built in 1906, this property has undergone several significant renovations and faced various maintenance issues over the years. Most notably, in 2014-2015, the building underwent substantial improvements including the addition of two basement units (1-bedroom and 2-bedroom), comprehensive fire safety upgrades (new fire alarm system, sprinklers, and notification devices), electrical system improvements, and plumbing upgrades for multiple kitchens and bathrooms. The building's foundation was replaced, and various interior remodels were completed.

More recently, in 2023, the property experienced multiple complaints regarding serious maintenance issues, including water damage, mold, plumbing problems, and pest infestations. These complaints appear to have been addressed, though there is a concerning pattern of ongoing maintenance issues. Historical records show earlier violations related to various interior and exterior problems, including staircase deterioration, unauthorized basement units, and multiple fire safety concerns. The building's fire safety systems have been a consistent focus, with regular inspections and some historical violations noted. While many past issues have been resolved, including a significant renovation in 2014-2015 that addressed many building systems, the recent cluster of complaints in 2023 suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The property continues to generate regular reports of garbage and debris issues in the surrounding area, as evidenced by numerous 311 calls in late 2024.

Risk rating

How 615 Minna 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.
