Initial analysis

The property at 2882-2888 San Bruno Avenue is a three-story mixed-use building constructed in 1950, containing three residential units and a ground-floor retail space. The building has undergone several significant improvements in recent years, most notably a comprehensive gas line replacement in July 2023 covering the entire building's infrastructure, including connections to the kitchen stove, heating furnace, and water heater. Other notable recent improvements include a barrier removal and bathroom modification project in late 2021, and plumbing upgrades to the bar area in 2022 involving sink and drain replacements. The building's electrical system received an upgrade in 2004 with a 200-amp service and meter installation.

The property has a documented history of maintenance and compliance efforts, with multiple routine inspections and prompt addressing of violations. In 2001, several fire safety issues were identified and subsequently resolved, including egress obstructions, fire escape ladder repairs, and smoke detector installations. While there have been various maintenance issues documented over the years, including a 1996 complaint about ceiling leaks and a 2005 permit violation regarding roof work, most recent building records indicate active management and resolution of issues as they arise. The property has maintained its mixed-use designation, combining residential units with commercial space, and recent planning records confirm the ongoing retail use status with specific non-food use designations. Current environmental reports show several recent concerns about street conditions and graffiti, though these are related to public spaces rather than the building itself.

Risk rating

How 2882-2888 San Bruno Ave'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.
