Initial analysis

The building at 2121 3rd Street is a multi-family residential property operated by Mission Piers Development L, consisting of 15 or more units, though exact unit counts are currently unavailable. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and infrastructure updates in recent years, including a boiler replacement in January 2024, and the installation of an EV charger in February 2023. A notable series of building violations was recorded in September 2017, related to multiple maintenance issues including water damage, damaged walls, floor coverings, and sink repairs, though these were all abated by June 2022. More recently, there have been several fire code violations between 2014 and 2024, including issues with alarm systems, sprinklers, and extinguishers, with the most recent violation being referred for hearing in October 2024 regarding an ERRCS permit requirement.

The building has experienced some recurring infrastructure challenges, including multiple elevator malfunctions requiring fire department response (with no reported injuries), and several fire alarm system activations, most recently in October 2024. Recent maintenance work includes the removal of six property line windows on the south elevation in 2019 for fire safety compliance, and temporary shoring work in 2017. The property has faced some exterior maintenance challenges, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in late 2024 regarding garbage, debris, and other street maintenance issues. A flooding incident was reported in 2017 involving laundry area and kitchen sink leaks, though comprehensive repairs appear to have been completed subsequently. The building's systems and infrastructure have been maintained under various permits, with recent work indicating ongoing system upgrades and compliance efforts.

Risk rating

How 2121 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.

Neighborhood percentile
36th percentile

Out of 74 buildings in this neighborhood, 47 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.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

DBI tenant complaints (past 7 years)

Formal complaints tenants filed with DBI about this building over 7 years.

Building age

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 56.7%
Moderate concern 36.3%
Severe concern 7.0%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
