The building's history shows several renovation attempts, including proposed kitchen and bathroom remodels in 1999, though many of these permits subsequently expired.

A significant maintenance concern was identified in December 2024 with a reported sewage backup discharge from a side sewer vent.

The building's recent history (2024-2023) reveals multiple sanitation and maintenance challenges, including garbage and debris issues, pavement and sidewalk defects, and a notable incident involving human waste or urine reported in December 2024. The property has also faced several fire safety concerns, particularly in 2016 when violations were issued regarding fire extinguisher requirements for commercial cooking services, though these were subsequently addressed. Historical maintenance work includes repairs to walls and stairs in the late 1990s and 1996, indicating ongoing maintenance needs. The building's commercial space has been a particular area of compliance challenges, with multiple instances of vacant storefront registration violations requiring monitoring fees.

Risk rating

How 30-32 Leland 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.
