Initial analysis

This three-story, seven-unit multi-family residential building at 2230 Leavenworth Street in Russian Hill, owned by SG Lago Partners LLC, was constructed in 1929 and has undergone significant renovations and improvements in recent years. The most pressing current issue involves active citations from September 2023 regarding unauthorized modifications to the recently constructed roof deck, including non-compliant planter boxes, tree installations, and railing designs, which reportedly block natural light into the existing lightwell and may exceed structural load limits. The building's fire safety systems have received considerable recent attention, with the installation of a dedicated 4th-floor residential fire sprinkler system completed in 2022 ($159,800), followed by multiple related improvements including a monitoring system ($12,746 in early 2024) and the addition of fire-rated features in 2023. The property has also completed its required seismic retrofitting as a Tier 3 soft-story building.

Historical records show past tenant complaints about heating system issues in 2013, when there were reports of inadequate heat during cold weather conditions. The building underwent substantial renovations to Unit 4 in 2022, including kitchen and bathroom updates and the installation of radiant flooring, along with roof deck modifications approved in 2019-2022 that have now become the subject of regulatory scrutiny. Additional improvements include electrical upgrades, fireplace installations, and plumbing work throughout the building. Though the property has undergone many positive changes, as evidenced by recent unit improvements and safety upgrades, the active violations regarding the roof deck and planter installations represent a significant ongoing compliance issue.

Risk rating

How 2230 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
