Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2657-2659 Leavenworth Street in Russian Hill has undergone several significant changes and improvements since its construction in 1950. The most notable event occurred in 2013 when the property was subject to enforcement actions regarding an illegal kitchen installation at the ground floor, which resulted in the removal of kitchen facilities including a sink, stove, and associated electrical components with a total cost of $3,000. This incident triggered multiple building permits in 2016 related to street space usage, as well as the replacement of four front wood clad windows ($1,200). The building has also seen major infrastructure work, including a complete reroofing project in 2000 ($9,950) and an interior expansion project in 1999 that added a bathroom, exercise room, and storage space.

More recent maintenance history includes the property being addressed for sewer issues in February 2022, though this appears to have been resolved promptly. The building's recent service calls (2022-2024) have primarily involved routine municipal matters such as street cleaning and bicycle sharing operations, along with one instance of loose garbage removal in January 2024. The property's permit and complaint history suggests that while there was a significant compliance issue in 2013 regarding unauthorized modifications, the owners have since undertaken appropriate corrective actions. The building's current ownership is maintained under the Kerry Siu Revocable Living Trust.

Risk rating

How 2657-2659 Leavenworth 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
98th percentile

Out of 1133 buildings in this neighborhood, 23 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.

Building age

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

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.

Neighborhood location

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 90.6%
Moderate concern 4.8%
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.
