Initial analysis

The property at 2388 Bryant Street is a three-story, multi-family residential building located in the Inner Mission neighborhood, constructed in 1902 and containing two units. The building's history reveals several significant events, with the most concerning being a recent complaint filed in October 2023 regarding flooding and mold issues, which remains unresolved as of October 2023. The building has experienced multiple unauthorized modifications, particularly in 2005 when unpermitted renovations including bathroom installations, electrical work, and other improvements were documented through several complaints and violations, though these were eventually addressed through proper permitting. The property has also faced regulatory scrutiny regarding short-term rentals, with multiple complaints in 2015 about potential Airbnb use, overcrowding, and fire hazards due to excessive occupancy, though investigations concluded with findings of long-term leasing and monthly rentals, and these violations were marked as abated.

More recently, the building's surroundings have experienced various maintenance issues, including a tree root-related sidewalk lifting problem that remains open as of August 2024. The property has generated multiple 311 calls between 2021 and 2024, primarily relating to street cleaning, graffiti, and environmental health concerns, with the most recent being a general environmental health complaint filed in October 2023. Historical records indicate earlier building code violations from 1995-1999, including overcrowding and security concerns, though these issues were resolved. The building underwent some permitted improvements in 1987 (expired permit) and 2005, including kitchen and bathroom remodeling work, indicating some attempts at maintenance and upgrading of the property's facilities.

Risk rating

How 2388 Bryant 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.
