Initial analysis

The 32-34 Rausch Street property is a 3-story, 9-unit multi-family residential building in San Francisco's South of Market neighborhood, built in 1912 and currently owned by Hans Dieter Borgards Living. The building has undergone several significant safety improvements, most notably completing a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017 (with a cost of $80,000) and addressing multiple fire safety concerns over the years. Recent fire violations include an extinguisher issue in August 2024 (now abated), while past violations from 2019 involved blocked exits and electrical system problems, all of which have been resolved.

The property has a history of various maintenance and compliance issues, including multiple instances of unpermitted construction work, such as a 2010 complaint about an unsafe balcony on the 3rd floor. Regular maintenance has been performed, as evidenced by several building permits for street space work in 2019-2020, and historical permits show past improvements like reroofing in 1997 and bathroom renovations in 1984. The building has undergone periodic safety inspections, including a routine housing inspection in 2004 that revealed several security and safety issues (since abated), such as the need for deadlatch locks, handrails, and foothold coverings. Recent 311 calls (2022-2024) primarily relate to street cleaning and maintenance issues in the surrounding area, while the building's location has experienced some challenges with street cleaning and sidewalk maintenance, as indicated by multiple service requests for garbage and debris removal.

Risk rating

How 32-34 Rausch 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.
