Initial analysis

The property at 2829-2847 24th Street in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood is a 2-story, 9-unit multi-family residential building with ground floor commercial space, owned by Rainbow 2603 Llc and built in 1913. The building has been under significant scrutiny in recent years, particularly regarding the ground floor unit conversion and safety compliance issues. Currently, there are multiple active complaints from 2024 regarding unauthorized residential use of ground floor retail space, expired permits for unit legalization, fire safety concerns including missing sprinklers, and structural problems. Notably, a pattern of violations dating back to 2004 remains unresolved, including issues with heating, windows, water damage, security, and plumbing systems. Recent complaints from 2024-2025 highlight problems with building maintenance, including graffiti, boarded-up windows and doors, and an abandoned storefront.

The building's permit and inspection history shows various maintenance and upgrade attempts over the years, including plumbing work (new water line installation in 2022, gas line extension in 2009, and sewer pipe replacement in 2008), electrical improvements, and multiple street space permits. However, many of these permits have expired or were marked as incomplete. A concerning pattern emerged in 2024 with multiple active complaints regarding illegal unit conversions, expired permits, and potential fire hazards due to incomplete work on the ground floor unit's sprinkler system. The property has also generated multiple 311 calls in recent months regarding garbage, debris, and graffiti on and around the building. While there have been various attempts to address building issues through permits and repairs, many crucial safety concerns and unauthorized modifications remain unresolved, as evidenced by the multiple active complaints and violations in recent years.

Risk rating

How 2829-2847 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.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 9.4%
Moderate concern 57.0%
Severe concern 33.6%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
