Initial analysis

The property at 3215-3217 Folsom Street is a two-unit multi-family residential building located in Bernal Heights, owned by Feng Wei Ming and constructed in 2005. The building was developed on the site of a previous single-family dwelling that was demolished in December 2000. The construction process included several significant permits: the main permit for the new three-story building was valued at $350,000, and there were subsequent revisions in 2004 to modify property line walls and foundation elements. Electrical work was completed in September 2004, including installation of lighting, switches, receptacles, and circuit panels. The building has undergone regular maintenance, with historical permits showing roofing work in 1990.

Recent issues that may affect resident experience include two sewage backup incidents in June and July 2015, though these were resolved through proper channels. The property has experienced periodic maintenance matters such as graffiti removal (2016-2017), tree maintenance (2018), and various street-related issues including a burnt-out street light (2019) and garbage-related incidents (2020, 2022, 2024). The building's construction and development history appears properly documented and authorized, with all major permits marked as complete. The property underwent a Mandatory Design Review process prior to construction, which was approved and not contested.

Risk rating

How 3215-3217 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.
