Initial analysis

The three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 2871 24th Street in the Inner Mission was constructed in 1900 and is currently owned by Kenneth Collins. The property has undergone several significant transformations, particularly regarding its ground-floor commercial space, which has transitioned from retail to a café/restaurant use. In 2017, substantial improvements were made to the commercial space, including the installation of an accessible entry door, all-gender restroom, and non-structural partitions, along with various electrical, mechanical, and plumbing updates, with a total cost of $150,000. Earlier modifications to the commercial area were completed in 2005, including interior remodeling work valued at $4,400.

The building's infrastructure was significantly upgraded in February 2021 with the replacement of two existing sub-panels with new 100-amp rated sub-panels and breakers. Recent maintenance and safety records show recurring issues with graffiti on and around the property in late 2023 through 2024, including multiple incidents of graffiti on the building and nearby sidewalk areas, with the most recent occurring in November 2024. The property has been subject to three open 311 calls in November 2024, concerning graffiti on the building, merchandise blocking the sidewalk, and additional graffiti incidents. An earlier case from July 2024 also reported a blocked sidewalk issue. While most graffiti incidents were resolved promptly through inspections and removals, these recurring occurrences may affect the property's exterior presentation. The building has received the necessary approvals for its current use as a coffee shop, continuing from its previous restaurant use, with appropriate modifications made to meet accessibility requirements.

Risk rating

How 2871 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.
