Initial analysis

The two-story multi-family residential building at 2185 Harrison Street in the Inner Mission, owned by James William Meyer Revoc T, was constructed in 1900 and contains two units. The property has undergone several structural improvements over the years, including the installation of aluminum windows in 1988, repair of dry rot and window replacement in 1992, and the installation of mud sill anchors in 1992, all of which were completed successfully. Recent safety inspections in November 2022 identified issues with sprinkler/standpipe systems and fire extinguishers, though these were promptly corrected within two weeks.

The building has experienced multiple fire safety-related incidents and inspections, with the most significant events occurring in 2019 when several system checks (including extinguishers, sprinklers, alarms, electrical systems, and exit maintenance) were conducted, resulting in one exit maintenance violation that was subsequently corrected. Since then, there have been periodic safety-related incidents, including carbon monoxide detector activations and false alarms, though none resulted in civilian injuries. The property has also faced several maintenance challenges in the immediate vicinity during 2025, including issues with garbage and debris on the street, defaced parking signs, and various public works matters, many of which are still open or were recently resolved. These ongoing concerns primarily relate to the surrounding area rather than the building itself, though there were fire safety violations recorded on nearby addresses (2130 Harrison St and 501-535 Alabama St) between 2006-2023 that may indicate broader neighborhood safety considerations.

Risk rating

How 2185 Harrison 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, 143 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.

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 81.5%
Moderate concern 12.7%
Severe concern 5.8%
