Initial analysis

The three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 2837 Harrison Street in the Inner Mission, owned by Jerome L Jerry Hoover Revoc, has a documented history dating back to 1989 when fire damage required approximately 300 square feet of siding replacement on the building's north side. More recently, significant electrical system upgrades were completed in 2014, which included the installation of a new 200-amp service panel with two-meter main and related infrastructure improvements. The building has experienced recurring issues with vehicles blocking the driveway in 2024, with multiple reports of unauthorized parking, though enforcement officers were often unable to locate the offending vehicles. A general environmental health complaint was filed in November 2023 and transferred to the Department of Public Health's Healthy Housing & Vector Control Program.

The area around the building has faced periodic street maintenance challenges, as evidenced by 311 calls reporting human or animal waste and loose garbage in 2024, as well as a pavement defect reported in 2021. The most recent cleaning issues were documented in May 2024, when an ADA-compliant tent was reported among other loose garbage. While the electrical upgrade in 2014 represents a significant infrastructure improvement, the building's historical permit records show relatively few major renovations beyond the fire-related repairs in 1989, suggesting limited recent investment in building systems or structure. The property has maintained its original three-story configuration since its construction in 1900.

Risk rating

How 2837 Harrison 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, 1047 are predicted to be safer.
