Initial analysis

The Lee Family Trust owns this 5-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building, constructed in 1910 in San Francisco's Inner Mission district. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the years, with the most recent being a 400-amp electrical service upgrade with 5 meters completed in 2022. Notable past renovations include the replacement of 54 wooden double-hung windows in 2007 (which had initially been installed without proper permits), rehabilitation of rear stairs in 2006-2007, and a complete reroofing project from 1995. The building experienced multiple violations in 2000 related to fire safety, security, and stair repairs, which were all abated by October 2000, including the installation of new fire extinguishers and self-closing doors. Another notable complaint was filed in 2012 regarding electrical issues with laundry machines that was quickly addressed. Recent activity at the property has primarily consisted of parking enforcement matters, with several reports of sidewalk parking and driveway blocking between 2023-2024, though these parking issues are external to the building's operations and management.

The property's maintenance history shows regular attention to infrastructure, with multiple stair repairs documented between 1995-2006, suggesting ongoing commitment to safety and accessibility. The presence of both building and electrical permits from 2022 indicates continued investment in the property's systems. While there were historical concerns about window installation and various safety violations in the early 2000s, all known issues have been addressed according to the records, with no active violations or complaints on file as of October 2023. The most recent building-related permits and inspections have focused primarily on infrastructure upgrades, particularly the 2022 electrical service modernization, which significantly increased the building's power capacity and modernization level. The property appears to be maintaining compliance with safety requirements, as evidenced by the absence of recent fire safety violations or building code citations.

Risk rating

How 2981-2987 25Th 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.
