Initial analysis

The property at 2934 Folsom Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood. Built in 1900 and currently owned by Michael W. and Emily A. Sharkey, this building has undergone significant improvements and maintenance work over the past two decades. Recent work includes a comprehensive bathroom renovation in June 2024 in the front building, which involved new tiles, shower, toilet, and vanity, with corresponding plumbing and electrical updates. The building has received consistent maintenance attention, including a 2016 re-roofing project (previous re-roofing was done in 2009), and multiple significant renovations in 2014, such as deck replacement, bathroom and kitchen remodels, and the addition of a playroom with modern amenities in the rear building.

The property's maintenance history shows regular updates to critical systems, including a 2013 sewer replacement, the installation of solar panels (though this permit expired), and various plumbing and electrical upgrades. Historical records indicate some past issues with the property's infrastructure, including several plumbing complaints regarding sewer problems in 2006, which appear to have been resolved. The building experienced multiple housing violations in the 1990s related to maintenance issues, including window, floor, and plumbing problems, but these were abated between 1994 and 1997. Recent maintenance records show regular upkeep of the property, with particular attention to plumbing systems, as evidenced by multiple plumbing permits for various upgrades and repairs throughout the years.

Risk rating

How 2934 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, 119 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 79.6%
Moderate concern 15.8%
Severe concern 4.6%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
