Initial analysis

The property at 2817-2819 San Bruno Avenue in the Portola neighborhood is a two-story building constructed in 1925, containing three residential units plus commercial space, currently owned by San Bruno Ave Prpts LLC. The building experienced significant fire damage in 2012-2013, which resulted in extensive rehabilitation work including the installation of a comprehensive new fire sprinkler system (costing $24,500), a sprinkler monitoring system, and multiple plumbing and electrical upgrades. The fire-related repairs were substantial, with costs totaling approximately $140,000, including interior demolition, structural assessments, and complete rewiring of affected units.

The building has a history of safety-related issues, including a serious complaint in March 2001 regarding dangerous stairs that resulted in a temporary emergency response. In the early 2000s, there were multiple housing violations related to building maintenance, including ceiling repairs, stair safety, window repairs, and lead paint concerns, all of which were eventually abated by December 2006. More recently, from 2023 to 2025, there have been recurring issues with garbage and debris, as well as several complaints about vehicles blocking driveways, though these are external to the building itself. A plumbing complaint from October 1998 regarding sink and toilet issues remains active as of October 2023. The property is currently listed under planning records for potential conversion to three condos/three multi units, though this status appears to have been closed or approved without further details.

Risk rating

How 2817-2819 San Bruno Ave'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.
