Initial analysis

The property at 400-402 Murray Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1924, currently owned by Shaikh Shamin. The building has experienced significant issues regarding unauthorized dwelling units, particularly in 2017 when multiple complaints were filed about an illegal ground floor unit (garage conversion) containing bedrooms, kitchen, and bathroom facilities. These violations prompted several enforcement actions, including Code Enforcement Section complaints (201706692 and 201710781) that remain active. Recent developments in December 2024 involve an issued permit to remove the ground floor kitchen and bathroom, and add fire-rated doors to comply with previous enforcement orders, costing $6,000.

The building has a history of various maintenance and improvement projects, including completed window replacements (17 windows in 2007), a kitchen and bathroom remodel (2007), and a reroofing project (1995). A series of violations and complaints from 2007 revealed multiple maintenance issues, including problems with stairs, electrical systems, and hot water supply, though these were ultimately abated. The property has also experienced recurring graffiti issues on adjacent utility infrastructure throughout 2023-2024, with several cases reported and varying resolution statuses. Current planning records show ongoing efforts to resolve the unauthorized unit situation, with one project "Under Review" that aims to remove the unauthorized dwelling unit and restore the space to its last authorized uses, while a separate project is "On Hold" awaiting further action regarding the disputed ground floor conversion.

Risk rating

How 400-402 Murray 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.
