Initial analysis

The property at 2970 24th Street, located in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood, is a two-story multi-family residential building with commercial space, owned by Cardoza Epigmenio V&ophelia. Built in 1900, this building has experienced ongoing maintenance and regulatory challenges. Most recently, there are active complaints from 2023-2024 regarding blight and graffiti, with multiple 311 calls reporting graffiti issues that have required multiple inspections and interventions. The building has a concerning pattern of vacant or abandoned building violations, with the most recent active case filed in May 2023, following several similar complaints in previous years (2018, 2020, and 2021). In 2018, there was an illegal change of use complaint regarding the conversion of ground floor retail to residential, and a fire-related illegal occupancy violation was issued in August 2017.

Historical records show some attempts at remediation, including a roof repair project in 2012 to address drainage issues between this building and its neighbor. The property has also been subject to multiple building violations between 2011-2012, including issues with water drainage affecting adjacent properties. While the building has undergone some repairs and responded to various violations, including work to address vacant building status requirements, the persistent pattern of vacant/abandoned building violations and multiple instances of graffiti and blight suggest ongoing management challenges. The most recent planning record indicates an open case regarding illegal change of use from retail to residential, though it does not specify any corrective actions taken since this complaint was filed.

Risk rating

How 2970 24Th 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.

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.
