Initial analysis

The three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 2844 Folsom Street in San Francisco's Inner Mission district was constructed in 1900 and is currently owned by San Francisco Community Land. The building's documented history shows relatively few significant events, with only two major structural modifications on record: a completed fire damage remediation and interior repairs in 1993 that involved removing and replacing lath, studs, light switches, and carpets, along with a water heater relocation completed in 2016.

The most recent and notable pattern of incidents related to the property involves multiple reports of bicycle lane blockages between 2021 and 2022, with eight separate incidents recorded through Parking Enforcement Review Queue, though none resulted in immediate enforcement action. Additional incidents of note include a damaged tree reported in August 2021 that was resolved, and illegal postings on a street light/metal pole in May 2021 that were addressed by the SES Graffiti Crew. The most recent report related to the street and sidewalk environment was a general cleaning issue involving loose garbage in January 2023, which was resolved by the Department of Public Works. While these incidents primarily relate to street-level issues rather than structural or safety concerns within the building itself, they do indicate some parking and maintenance challenges in the immediate vicinity of the property.

Risk rating

How 2844 Folsom 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
