Initial analysis

The building at 2981-2983 Folsom Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential structure located in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood, built in 1979 and currently owned by the Survivors Trust Dtd 3/31/93. The property has undergone several significant infrastructure improvements over the years, including a sewer lateral house trap replacement completed in April 2024, a gas line repair in the garage in December 2013, and an underground electrical service conversion with two meters in 2004. A notable roofing project was undertaken in 1997, though this permit has since expired.

The building's maintenance history shows some attention to interior repairs, with sheetrock and tile repairs completed in both units in 1996, though an earlier 1983 permit for converting existing space to living areas, bathroom, kitchen, and bedrooms was cancelled. Recent building-related incidents have primarily involved external municipal services rather than internal issues, with multiple 311 calls between 2023-2024 focusing on street cleaning, illegal parking, and a tree-related concern with potential sewer damage that remains open as of September 2023. The property's recent plumbing and electrical upgrades suggest ongoing maintenance and infrastructure improvement, though the number of street-related 311 calls indicating some neighborhood service challenges should be noted.

Risk rating

How 2981-2983 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
