Initial analysis

The property at 2146 3rd Street is a two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, comprising two units and containing a commercial ground floor space. The building has undergone significant renovations and modifications between 2023 and 2024, including a comprehensive interior renovation of all three levels, accessibility upgrades, and the installation of a new NFPA 13 fire sprinkler system. Recent building permits indicate ongoing work involving framing modifications, plumbing updates, and electrical system improvements, with all permits currently in issued status totaling over $1 million in permitted work.

The building's history includes several important events, such as a water conservation ordinance non-compliance notice in 2018, multiple construction-related complaints in 2023, and various fire safety violations historically dating back to 2008. Three recent violations were cited on December 9, 2024, regarding multiple fire code violations and an ERRCS permit requirement. The property has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues in the past, including roofing work without permits (2009), sidewalk accessibility concerns (2010), and historical fire safety violations related to blocked exits and alarm systems (2011-2014). A canceled demolition and rebuild project in 2014 would have replaced the existing building with a 6-story, 7-unit condominium structure, though this was not executed. Recent 311 calls from 2024 primarily relate to construction activities, parking enforcement, and waste management issues, though most have been resolved promptly.

Risk rating

How 2146-2148 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.
