Initial analysis

290 Miramar Avenue is a 2-story, 8-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1958, currently owned by Hedda Kornfeld Family Lp I. The building has undergone several significant safety and maintenance upgrades over the past few years, most notably the recent $28,892 fire alarm system upgrade in 2023 to comply with San Francisco Fire Code requirements, which included the installation of new smoke detectors, manual pulls, horns, and low-frequency sounders. The property completed its mandatory soft-story seismic retrofit in 2017, demonstrating compliance with San Francisco's earthquake safety requirements. Other notable improvements include an ADA bathroom remodel in 2017, a $4,500 interior renovation in 2019, and historical upgrades such as window replacements in 2003 and reroofing in 1992.

The building has experienced several concerning issues related to its commercial space and safety compliance. There have been multiple complaints about the ground-floor commercial space being used improperly as a residence between 2009 and 2010, though these issues were eventually resolved. A routine inspection in 2010 revealed multiple violations including lead paint concerns, weatherproofing problems, and issues with combustible storage, all of which were subsequently addressed. More recent concerns have focused on the vacant commercial storefront, with multiple complaints between 2018 and 2023 regarding window transparency violations and registration non-compliance. The building has a documented history of fire alarm system activations and various service calls, though none resulted in civilian injuries. Recent 311 calls from late 2024 primarily concerned street cleaning and waste management issues, rather than building safety concerns.

Risk rating

How 290 Miramar Ave'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 156 buildings in this neighborhood, 126 are predicted to be safer.
