Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2712 17th Street in San Francisco's Inner Mission district was constructed in 1900 and is currently owned by the Power Of Appointment Trust. The property has undergone several significant maintenance improvements over the years, including a $25,599 reroofing project completed in 2016 and the replacement of five second-floor windows with new Marvin wood-clad double-hung sash windows in 2014. However, the building has experienced recurring fire safety system issues, with violations documented between 2020 and 2024 related to alarm systems, sprinkler/standpipe systems, exit maintenance, and fire extinguisher compliance. While most of these violations were eventually corrected, a September 2024 violation regarding sprinkler service remains unresolved.

Recent activity at the property includes multiple 311 calls in January 2025 primarily related to encampment issues in the vicinity, though these are external to the building itself. Other recent incidents include reports of garbage and debris, an overflowing city garbage can, and a water leak that required some immediate attention. The building has experienced several false alarms and system malfunctions related to its fire safety equipment between 2014 and 2024, as documented in fire incident records, though notably, no civilian injuries have been reported in any of these incidents. The property has maintained periodic compliance with necessary building improvements, as evidenced by the 2014 window replacement and 2016 roofing work, though the recent fire safety violations suggest ongoing attention is needed for this critical building system.

Risk rating

How 2712 17Th 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, 500 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 age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

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

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 74.1%
Moderate concern 16.5%
Severe concern 9.4%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
