Initial analysis

This two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building at 2244-2248 Leavenworth Street in the Russian Hill neighborhood was constructed in 1912 and is currently owned by Jeffrey Lefstin. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the years, with the most recent electrical upgrades completed in 2023, including the replacement of two federal pacific main panels and the installation of an EV charger. Earlier renovations include a bathroom and kitchen remodel in 2006, and various exterior improvements including vinyl siding installation (2002), multiple roof replacements (2000 and 2004), and window upgrades (2003).

Recent issues of concern primarily relate to parking enforcement, with multiple documented cases of blocked driveways between 2023 and 2024, resulting in several citations and tow requests. The most recent incidents occurred in late 2024, including cases on April 27, June 22, and October 15, 2024. Additionally, there were two incidents of street cleaning required for human waste or urine in October 2024. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep and modernization efforts, particularly focused on electrical systems and exterior improvements, with several permits from the early 2000s having expired but likely completed. The property appears to be actively maintained, though recent parking enforcement issues may indicate ongoing challenges with nearby parking management.

Risk rating

How 2244-2248 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
