Initial analysis

The property at 2836-2844 24th Street is a three-story mixed-use building constructed in 1988, containing 7 residential units above commercial space, currently owned by Bernard & Leona Fong Family Trust. The building has experienced several significant events in recent years, most notably a serious incident in February 2024 when a vehicle collided with the building's corner, causing substantial structural damage including displacement of wood framing, window damage, and plumbing line issues. This incident prompted multiple complaints and violations, with repair work ongoing as of April 2024 under a issued permit costing $12,000. The building has also faced maintenance challenges, including a May 2024 complaint about blight and boarded windows, and a June 2023 report of rotting building materials affecting the sidewalk. Historical improvements include the 2009 upgrade of the kitchen's automatic fire suppression system and the installation of two grease traps in 2012. The property has undergone routine housing inspections over the years (2003 and 2015), and plumbing issues were addressed in 2010 with sewer repairs. Recent maintenance concerns have been documented through multiple 311 calls regarding graffiti on the property during 2024, though these were primarily cosmetic issues. The building's original construction included planning approvals for a full-service restaurant (Punjar's) and parking stalls, with commercial space over residential units.

Risk rating

How 2836-2844 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.

Neighborhood percentile

Out of 2380 buildings in this neighborhood, 1833 are predicted to be safer.
