Initial analysis

The property at 2862-2864 Folsom Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1906, currently owned by the Peter M Blair Revocable Trust. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the past two decades, with recent updates including electrical upgrades such as a car charger installation in 2019. Between 2010-2014, substantial renovations were completed, including a major $45,000 project in 2010 to rebuild rear and front stairs and roof deck, window replacements in 2013-2014, and electrical system improvements including a 200-amp underground conversion in 2004 and comprehensive electrical work in 2010 that added numerous circuits and safety features. A kitchen and bathroom remodel was completed in 2011 for the third-floor unit.

The property has experienced some maintenance issues and external challenges in recent years, with the most recent concerns being two reports of hanging tree limbs in December 2024. There have been multiple parking-related incidents near the property, particularly involving bicycle lane blockages, recorded between 2022-2024, though these are more indicative of neighborhood conditions rather than building-specific issues. The building's maintenance record shows regular upkeep and modernization efforts by the ownership, with the most recent major work being the 2019 electrical upgrade. Outside the building, there have been occasional street cleaning and encampment-related issues reported through 311, though these are typical for urban environments and not directly related to the building's condition or management.

Risk rating

How 2862-2864 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

Out of 2380 buildings in this neighborhood, 333 are predicted to be safer.
