Initial analysis

The building at 3243-3249 24th Street is a 3-story, 16-unit multi-family residential apartment complex constructed in 1926, currently owned by Galu Realty LLC. The property has undergone several significant improvements and modifications over the past few years, most notably the 2016-2019 addition of an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) at the ground floor, which included comprehensive fire safety upgrades with 12 newly installed sprinklers, fire alarm system modernization, and electrical improvements. The building completed mandatory seismic upgrades in 2016, addressing both the residential and commercial portions of the structure. Recent maintenance includes a domestic hot water boiler replacement in April 2023 and the installation of a new shower pan in February 2019.

The property has experienced periodic regulatory scrutiny, with multiple fire safety inspections resulting in citations and corrections between 2007 and 2023, including issues with alarm systems, extinguishers, and street numbering. A significant recent violation regarding sleeping area requirements was issued in December 2023 and remains open as of the latest available data. The building's commercial space has undergone various transformations, including a 2016 change of use from a real estate office to a barber shop, and the property has experienced several complaints over the years regarding construction noise, vacant storefronts, and unauthorized tenant improvements. Historical violations from 2004 related to fire safety features (smoke doors, fire escape ladders, and fire escape maintenance) were resolved within two months. The building is classified as Tier 4 in the city's soft-story program, with work completed and a Certificate of Final Completion issued.

Risk rating

How 3243-3249 24Th 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.

Neighborhood percentile
