Initial analysis

The three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 2872-2874 24th Street in San Francisco's Inner Mission, built in 1900, has experienced several noteworthy events and maintenance activities over the past few decades. Most recently, in August 2024, significant infrastructure work was completed, including the replacement of approximately 80 feet of underground sewer pipe, and a filing was made for street-facing building painting. The property has undergone various renovations and improvements, including reroofing in 1995, dry-rot repairs in 1988, and multiple commercial tenant improvements. Of particular interest is the building's commercial storefront history, including an attempt to convert retail space to a full-size restaurant in 2001, with associated improvements like an awning installation and kitchen hood system upgrade.

Recent conditions near the building have raised some resident concerns, particularly related to shared spaces and parklet management. In 2024, there were multiple reports regarding an abandoned parklet, sidewalk defects, and various shared spaces issues including graffiti, amplified sound, and visibility concerns, though many of these cases were resolved or closed with no action required. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, with the most recent plumbing work indicating ongoing maintenance of essential systems. Two fire complaints were recorded in late 2024 and early 2025 related to shared spaces, with one resolved by January 2025. The property is currently owned by Ford Chan and Sandy L, and while the building's major systems and infrastructure appear to be receiving necessary attention through regular permits and repairs, the surrounding area shows active community engagement with local infrastructure and safety issues.

Risk rating

How 2872-2874 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.

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.
