Initial analysis

2207 Castro Street is a three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building located in Noe Valley, San Francisco, and owned by Kir Ryan. Built in 1970, the building has undergone minimal documented structural work, with only two significant permits on record - a horizontal work permit from 1993 and a sewer drain line replacement in 1985. The property has experienced only a few notable safety-related incidents over the years, including a cluster of gas meter-related violations in May 2000 that required the posting of instructional diagrams and provision of shutoff tools; however, these violations were promptly addressed within a week of being issued. A routine housing inspection was conducted in November 2008, and while there was one uncategorized fire complaint filed in August 2008, it was found to have "No Merit" upon investigation.

The building's fire safety history shows four documented incidents, all with no civilian injuries or significant damage - these include a cooking fire contained to a container, unintentional smoke detector activations, and one false alarm system activation due to malfunction. More recently, in early 2024, there was a Rent Board customer callback regarding fee housing inventory matters that was successfully resolved. The property has experienced a notable pattern of abandoned vehicle reports in 2024, with multiple such complaints between September 2024 and January 2025, though these are street-related issues rather than building-specific concerns. The most recent building-related service call was for garbage and debris removal in January 2025, which was resolved promptly.

Risk rating

How 2207 Castro 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 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 1278 are predicted to be safer.
