Initial analysis

The 8-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 2 Maynard Street in the Excelsior neighborhood, owned by G Mazzera Company, was constructed in 1960 and has undergone several significant improvements and faced notable challenges over the years. Most recently, the building experienced a fire incident in April 2023 that affected Unit 4, leading to multiple repair projects including fire/smoke damage restoration (September 2023, $85,000), asbestos abatement (May 2023, $21,872), and subsequent kitchen and bathroom remodeling work (February 2024). The building is currently undergoing important safety upgrades, including a fire alarm system upgrade (completed September 2024, $25,600) and the replacement of an existing furnace (October 2024). The property has previously addressed key structural concerns through a completed soft-story upgrade in 2018, demonstrating compliance with seismic safety requirements. Historical maintenance issues have included various building violations and complaints, such as window repairs, water quality concerns, and appliance maintenance matters, though many of these have been resolved.

Regular inspections and maintenance work indicate ongoing attention to building safety and habitability, with the most recent permits focusing on modernizing systems and addressing fire-related repairs. The building's history includes multiple fire safety inspections and system activations over the years, with fire-related incidents being a recurring theme in the building's record. Notably, several 311 calls in late 2024 have been logged regarding street cleaning and parking issues, though these are external to the building itself. The property's compliance with soft-story retrofit requirements (classified as Tier 4) and recent fire system improvements suggest an active approach to meeting current building codes and safety standards.

Risk rating

How 2 Maynard 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.
