Initial analysis

The property at 3125-3127 Folsom Street is a four-story, two-unit multi-family residential building located in Bernal Heights, built in 1905 and currently owned by Lee & Franck Fmly Tr 2015. The building has undergone significant renovations between 2014-2015, including a major interior remodel of bathrooms, kitchens, and living spaces across multiple floors, installation of comprehensive electrical systems (three 100-amp panels, numerous lights, switches, receptacles, fans, appliances, and smoke detectors), and the addition of new bedrooms and bathrooms. The property also received structural safety improvements with the installation of two layers of fire-rated gypsum board on multiple floors, though there was a fire sprinkler violation issued in March 2024 that was abated by April 2024.

Recent infrastructure improvements include the addition of two bicycle parking spaces in 2015. The building has experienced some utility challenges as evidenced by multiple sewer discharge incidents in October 2024, though these were resolved by city services. The surrounding area has faced various maintenance issues in recent months, including garbage disposal problems, sidewalk defects, and traffic signal damage, though these are outside building-specific concerns. Planning records indicate a 2-lot subdivision was approved, and there have been no significant tenant buyouts recorded at this address. The most recent building maintenance and safety records suggest that while there have been some infrastructure and utility issues, the property has generally been maintained according to current standards, with prompt attention to safety violations when they are identified.

Risk rating

How 3125-3127 Folsom 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 1276 buildings in this neighborhood, 370 are predicted to be safer.
