Initial analysis

The property at 3353-3355 Folsom Street in Bernal Heights is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1910, currently owned by Orlando S. Galvez. The building has undergone several significant renovations and maintenance work over the years, with the most substantial renovation occurring in 2007-2011 when major work was done including bathroom and laundry installations, kitchen reconfigurations, and ceiling height improvements, though parts of these permits expired and required renewals. A significant plumbing issue emerged in late 2015 when the sewer system was found to be in disrepair, causing public nuisance concerns that were resolved by February 2016, following which a complete sewer replacement was performed in December 2015. The building has maintained its basic infrastructure through various permits for HVAC installations, electrical upgrades, and multiple plumbing improvements, including work for two bathrooms and a kitchen. Earlier in its history, the property underwent important modifications in 2006 to remove an illegal basement unit and convert it to storage, and there have been various maintenance issues documented through 311 calls, primarily related to street cleaning, tree maintenance, and sewer concerns, most of which have been resolved.

Recent activity from 2021-2024 has shown ongoing attention to building systems and maintenance, with records showing regular response to sewer and drainage issues, though no major building permittable modifications have been documented in this period. The most recent building-related complaints concern general street cleaning and tree maintenance outside the property boundaries. The property appears to have maintained compliance with building codes since the 2015 sewer issues, with no active violations on record, and all major systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) appear to have been regularly updated or maintained through appropriate permits, with the most recent significant infrastructure work being a sewer replacement in 2015.

Risk rating

How 3353-3355 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.
