Initial analysis

The property at 327-331 Russia Avenue in the Excelsior neighborhood is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building owned by the Ruggiero Frank Family Limited, constructed in 1908. The building has undergone significant recent renovations, with major improvements completed in late 2022 including comprehensive remodeling of both units' kitchens and bathrooms, relocation of plumbing fixtures, electrical system upgrades, and the installation of new furnaces for both units, with work costing approximately $85,000. This renovation project involved extensive updates including new sheetrock installations, electrical work comprising 40 lights, switches, receptacles, and new appliances, along with plumbing modifications including shower pan installations and laundry facility improvements.

The building's historical record shows some concerning maintenance issues in the past, including a complaint about cockroaches and rodents that was filed in 2008 and resolved by mid-2009, and a 1997 complaint regarding a sinking kitchen floor, problematic water heater placement, and an unsafe gas heater, which was addressed by July 1998. While these past issues might suggest previous maintenance challenges, the extensive recent renovations indicate substantial investment in improving the building's condition. The property has experienced typical urban neighborhood issues such as graffiti, street cleaning needs, and parking violations in the surrounding area, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls between 2019 and 2024, though these are not directly related to the building's condition. A tenant buyout occurred in October 2021 for $100,000 involving one tenant at 331 Russia Avenue, though specific details about the circumstances were not provided in the records.

Risk rating

How 327-331 Russia 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.

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.
