Initial analysis

The three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 2981-2985 24th Street in the Inner Mission was built in 1900 and includes a commercial storefront. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the years, most notably a comprehensive heating system upgrade in 2008 that included the installation of a new forced-air gas furnace, electrical improvements, and gas work. In the early 2000s, the building underwent accessibility improvements to convert a non-accessible toilet into an accessible one. A series of maintenance and safety violations were documented in January 2008, including issues with floor coverings, window frames, ceilings, security, lighting, and heating systems, though these were all resolved by April 2008.

The building has faced several structural and system challenges in recent years. In 2019-2020, there were concerns regarding compliance with soft-story retrofit requirements (Tier I and IV), though these complaints are now listed as not active. Historical issues include electrical problems in 2001-2002, where multiple appliances caused fuses to blow, and a heating complaint in January 2008. Recent exterior maintenance issues have been limited to occasional graffiti and sidewalk cleanliness matters, with the most recent being reported in 2023. The property is home to the Precita Eyes Muralists Association, which holds a legacy business status, though there is currently an open violation regarding business sign size and quantity limits. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of responsive management, with most violations and complaints being addressed and resolved in a timely manner, though there are some ongoing concerns related to the soft-story retrofit compliance status.

Risk rating

How 2981-2985 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.
