Initial analysis

The property at 2625 San Jose Ave in Oceanview is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1967, currently owned by Benjamin P. Feldman. The building has undergone significant safety upgrades in recent years, with the installation of a comprehensive fire alarm system completed in February 2024, including multiple smoke detectors and sounders, following the October 2023 addition of a fire sprinkler system to the ground floor. The ground floor unit has been the subject of particular attention, with multiple permits related to its legalization, improvements, and modifications including a rear deck and utility closet. The building has experienced various maintenance and improvement work over the years, including deck repairs in 2010, water damage repairs in 2014, and several plumbing system upgrades in 2023.

Notable recent activities include the filing of multiple plumbing permits in mid-2024 and electrical work in 2023, indicating ongoing infrastructure improvements. There was a significant complaint in February 2023 regarding unpermitted conversion work, though this appears to have been addressed by subsequent permit activity. Historical records show past fire safety concerns (2000-2003) regarding combustible storage in garages and fire extinguisher maintenance, all of which were resolved. The property has undergone several routine housing inspections over the years (2000, 2003, 2010) which have generally resulted in citations for various maintenance issues, though these were typically addressed and resolved. Recent 311 calls and complaints have primarily focused on external issues not directly related to the building's condition, such as noise complaints and street maintenance matters.

Risk rating

How 2625 San Jose 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.
