Initial analysis

The two-unit multi-family residential building at 2627 21st Street in the Inner Mission, owned by Gary A. Dominguez and Huttlinger, is a two-story structure built in 1900. The building's documented history shows several significant maintenance and improvement activities over the past few decades. Most notably, in 2011, a new curb cut was successfully installed on the property to facilitate garage access, resolving an earlier structural oddity where a garage existed without proper driveway access. Between 1989 and 1991, the property underwent substantial work to address structural issues, including an attempted horizontal addition and the replacement of crumbling brick foundations, though these permits ultimately expired without recorded completion.

The property has experienced minimal issues in recent years, with only two notable incidents on record: a tree root-related sidewalk damage complaint in 2011 that required city intervention, and a non-offensive graffiti incident on a signal box in 2020 that was promptly resolved by the Department of Public Works. Given the age of the building and the limited number of documented issues, particularly in recent years, the property appears to have been maintained reasonably well, with most significant structural concerns addressed through permitting processes.

Risk rating

How 2627 21St 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.
