Initial analysis

The 6-unit apartment building at 2640 Leavenworth Street in Russian Hill was constructed in 1958 and has undergone significant renovations over the past decade. The property, owned by Leavenworth Development LLC, experienced serious issues in 2005-2006 when multiple building permits expired and the building was described as abandoned and unsafe, with work left incomplete and the structure exposed to the elements. However, from 2009 onwards, comprehensive rehabilitation work commenced, including the installation of a new roof deck, facade upgrades, and critical life-safety improvements such as a new fire sprinkler system throughout the building ($30,000 in 2011). Between 2010-2011, all units underwent substantial renovations including complete remodels of 6 kitchens and bathrooms, installation of new laundry facilities, and updates to electrical systems including new sub-panels and extensive lighting work.

The building has experienced several fire safety system activations, primarily due to malfunctions, though there was a legitimate fire code violation noted in April 2021 that was promptly addressed. More recent history shows a relatively clean maintenance record with only routine issues being reported through 311 calls. Recent inspections confirmed the building's systems are functional, though there were multiple instances of false alarms and system malfunctions in the past decade. The property underwent significant transformations to address its previous violations, culminating in the 2011 installation of comprehensive safety features including sprinklers, smoke detectors, and modernized utilities, as well as resolving all historical code violations by 2012. The most recent building permits and inspections indicate the property is currently compliant with San Francisco building codes, with no active violations or major complaints on record since 2021.

Risk rating

How 2640 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
37th percentile

Out of 1133 buildings in this neighborhood, 714 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building age

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

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 52.9%
Moderate concern 16.8%
Severe concern 30.3%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
