Initial analysis

The three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 2153-2157 Taylor Street in Russian Hill, owned by Antonio & Rita Castellucci, has a documented history dating back to 1991. The building was constructed in 1916 and has undergone minimal major improvements, with only two significant permits on record: a complete reroofing project in 1991 and a streetspace permit issued in 2004. Housing Inspection Services conducted regular routine inspections in 2002 and 2006, both of which were promptly resolved with no active issues recorded.

The property has experienced recurring issues with street cleanliness and maintenance in recent years, particularly between 2021 and 2024. These include multiple instances of general garbage and debris (with notable cases in November 2024 and November 2021), and three documented cases of driveway blocking resulting in citations in 2023. Other maintenance concerns have included graffiti on the mailbox in July 2023 and a defaced parking sign in March 2022, all of which have been addressed through appropriate city services. While these exterior maintenance issues have been consistently resolved through city interventions, none of the documented incidents suggest any internal building safety or habitability concerns. The relatively few building permits and regular housing inspections indicate limited major renovations or modifications to the structure over the past several decades.

Risk rating

How 2153-2157 Taylor 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

Out of 1133 buildings in this neighborhood, 510 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.

DBI complaint rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building complaint rate across the owner's portfolio.

Director's hearing rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building rate of director's hearings across the owner's portfolio.

Building age

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 77.1%
Moderate concern 14.3%
Severe concern 8.6%
