Initial analysis

The two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building at 33-35 Rausch Street in San Francisco's South of Market neighborhood has an extensive history dating back to its construction in 1907. The property has undergone several significant events, with the most concerning being a fire incident in 1985 that required repairs, and major plumbing issues in 1994 involving sewage problems and structural concerns in unit 33A. The building went through routine safety inspections in 2007 and 2014, with the latter revealing multiple fire safety violations including issues with fire extinguisher maintenance and egress stair storage, all of which were abated by November 2014. More recently, there has been one false fire alarm recorded, though this did not result in any civilian injuries.

Recent activity at the property, from 2024-2025, shows ongoing challenges with waste management and environmental health concerns, particularly regarding sidewalk cleanliness and blocked pathways from scooters. There have been multiple reports of garbage and debris issues, including instances of human waste or urine on sidewalks, though many of these cases have been resolved. The most recent building permit activity was for sidewalk repair work in 2007, while a bathroom floor and dry rot repair was permitted in 1994. The property is currently under the ownership of Michael F. Hirner.

Risk rating

How 33-35 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.

Neighborhood percentile
52th percentile

Out of 430 buildings in this neighborhood, 206 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.

Number of units

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

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 52.1%
Moderate concern 22.8%
Severe concern 25.1%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
