Initial analysis

301 Paris Street is a two-unit multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Excelsior neighborhood, built in 1923 and classified as a Flat & Store 4 units or less property. The building's most significant recent upgrade occurred in December 2022, when a $10,000 project was undertaken to improve the business entrance access, including the installation of a powered door operator and push plate button. The property underwent substantial interior improvements in 2012, with comprehensive remodeling of both bathroom and kitchen areas, including new plumbing fixtures, cabinets, tiles, and associated electrical work (including smoke detectors). Earlier maintenance included the installation of a new wall heater in 2011 and the replacement of a second-floor rear window.

The building experienced notable challenges in September 2011, when multiple violations were documented, including reports of rodent and cockroach infestations, window repairs needed, problems with heating system, damaged walls and ceilings, and issues with lead-based paint concerns. These violations were all addressed and officially abated by October 6, 2011. The property has remained free of formal housing violations since that time, though there have been numerous 311 calls in recent months (December 2024 - January 2025) primarily related to parking enforcement matters in the vicinity. A single fire incident was recorded involving a malfunctioning smoke detector, with no civilian injuries reported. The most recent building modification on record was a $10,000 access improvement project completed in late 2022, suggesting ongoing attention to building maintenance and accessibility.

Risk rating

How 301 Paris 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.
