Initial analysis

The 31-33 Harriet Street property is a three-story, 13-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1915, currently managed by Agi Hai Apartment Fund I LLC. The building has undergone several significant safety and modernization improvements over the past few years, including the installation of two new ADUs in 2019-2020, comprehensive fire alarm system upgrades in 2020 costing $30,000, and sprinkler modifications involving 37 heads in 2019 ($18,500). The property completed its mandatory soft-story seismic retrofit requirements in 2022, achieving Tier 3 compliance.

Recent concerns have emerged regarding building safety and maintenance, with multiple active violations filed between April and May 2024, including issues with electrical panel access, fire escape maintenance, fire extinguisher requirements, egress obstruction, and structural maintenance. There have also been historical concerns about work being performed without proper permits, particularly in 2017, and during the 2020 ADU construction period. The building has experienced multiple fire safety-related complaints and violations over the years, though many were addressed or found to have no merit upon inspection. Recent tenant complaints have included noise disturbances from construction work in 2024 and ongoing concerns about common area maintenance. While the building has made substantial improvements to its safety systems, the recent cluster of violations suggests emerging maintenance challenges that warrant monitoring. The property management has previously addressed various fire safety issues, including sprinkler system upgrades and fire alarm improvements, though there was a period of unpermitted electrical work that required subsequent permits in 2021.

Risk rating

How 31-33 Harriet 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
