Initial analysis

This 39-unit, 5-story multi-family residential building, located at 2071-2075 3rd Street and built in 2008, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past few years. Most recently, in 2023 and 2024, there have been three fire safety violations related to sprinklers/standpipes and sleeping area requirements, with the latest sleeping area violation remaining open as of November 2023. The building has a history of elevator problems, with multiple complaints in 2019 about inoperable elevators, and maintenance work ongoing as of April 2024 to verify sound levels in sleeping areas. Commercial space modifications have been a major focus of building improvements, with several permitted changes including the conversion of ground floor retail space for various uses (most recently a coffee shop), installation of commercial kitchen equipment, and multiple plumbing and electrical upgrades between 2015-2018 totaling significant investments.

Recent concerns as of late 2024 include multiple reports of water leaks, graffiti, flooding, and excessive noise, with one noise complaint remaining open since December 2024. The building's fire safety record shows recurring issues, particularly in 2017 with multiple violations related to sprinklers, extinguishers, and overall fire code compliance. While many of these violations have been addressed and abated, including several related to commercial space improvements, the pattern of elevator, fire safety, and commercial space management issues suggests ongoing maintenance and compliance challenges. The property's commercial space has undergone various transformations, including a sandwich store/coffee shop installation and multiple tenant improvements, with significant work completed under various permits totaling over $200,000 in improvements between 2015 and 2018, including ADA compliance features and bicycle parking installations.

Risk rating

How 2071-2075 3Rd 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.
