Initial analysis

The property at 2701 Bryant Street in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood is a two-story, two-unit multi-family residential building with retail space, constructed in 1906 and currently owned by Wong Ching Tai. The building has undergone several modifications over the years, with the most recent significant work occurring in 2016, including a partial kitchen remodel worth $10,000 and structural modifications to the second floor involving the installation of a beam and posts. The property has a documented history of maintenance issues, including a broken glass window pane in 2012 that required violation notices and a complaint about unfiltered dryer vents in the laundry facility in 2020. In 1997, the ground-floor space was converted from a grocery store to a laundromat with a $64,000 renovation.

The building has experienced recurring maintenance challenges in the surrounding area, particularly regarding waste management, with multiple reports of overflowing garbage cans and debris between late 2024 and early 2025. The most recent building-related complaint was filed in December 2024 regarding illegal construction activities, though the specific nature of this complaint is not detailed in the records. While most past violations have been resolved, including the 2012 window issue, and the property has maintained an active maintenance schedule for basic improvements, the recent cluster of waste management complaints suggests ongoing challenges with property upkeep in the immediate vicinity. The most recent building modifications on record occurred over seven years ago, with no major structural or systems upgrades documented in the past several years.

Risk rating

How 2701 Bryant 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.
