Initial analysis

This two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building with ground-floor retail, located in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood, has undergone several significant transformations since its construction in 1932. The most notable recent change, completed in 2014, was the conversion of a former laundry facility into a restaurant (14 Peaks Nepalese Cuisine), which involved extensive interior remodeling costing $174,140 and required comprehensive electrical, plumbing, and fire suppression system installations. The building has maintained its safety standards, with recent permit activity in late 2023-early 2024 for kitchen equipment upgrades and associated gas connections, though there were multiple fire alarm activations recorded in the early 2000s, none of which involved actual fires or civilian injuries.

The property has experienced some operational challenges, particularly during the 2021 holiday season when construction work at the restaurant reportedly extended to 11 PM, generating neighbor complaints. There is currently an active vacant storefront complaint from 2020, though most historical issues have been resolved, including a lead paint removal complaint from 2014. The building's recent history (2024) shows recurring issues with sidewalk cleanliness, as evidenced by multiple reports of garbage and debris, though these were all resolved through appropriate channels. The property has successfully obtained all necessary permits for its recent modifications, including approvals for new signage and awning installations in late 2023, and has maintained compliance with safety regulations, as demonstrated by the installation of a new fire suppression system in 2015 and regular equipment upgrades.

Risk rating

How 2844-2848 23Rd 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.
