Initial analysis

The property at 2871-2873 22nd Street is a two-unit, two-story residential building located in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood, built in 1900 and currently owned by Deborah Tu. The building has undergone several significant renovations and faced multiple maintenance challenges over the past decade. Most notably, in 2017, substantial improvements were made including a complete renovation of both units' kitchens and bathrooms, installation of new heating furnaces, and replacement of the main water line to the meter, totaling approximately $156,000 in improvements. The property experienced significant moisture-related issues between 2011-2016, with multiple complaints and violations related to mold/mildew problems on walls, particularly during 2011-2016, though these were officially abated by May 2016. Recent concerns include a 2020 complaint regarding unpermitted construction of stairs and deck, which remains active as of late 2020.

Recent building permits indicate ongoing maintenance efforts, including work on the deck to address previous complaints (2021), partial shed demolition and rebuild (2021), and various repairs and improvements. The property has had multiple street space permits issued between 2017-2018, and various plumbing and electrical upgrades were completed in 2017. Historical problems included a 2013 complaint about various maintenance issues including exterior stairs, lighting, ventilation, and security concerns, which were addressed. Three encampment reports near the property (2018-2022) were resolved through city intervention, and one in 2020 concerned illegal construction work, while other 311 calls primarily relate to street cleaning and parking violations. The building's historical records show several attempts to address various maintenance issues, with most being resolved through appropriate permits and repairs, though the most recent construction-related concerns remain pending resolution.

Risk rating

How 2871-2873 22Nd 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, 1095 are predicted to be safer.
