Initial analysis

The three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 850-854 Vallejo Street in North Beach, owned by Kazemi Pejman Lotfali, was constructed in 1907 and has experienced several significant maintenance and safety-related events over its history. Most recently, there has been a notable pattern of street cleaning issues outside the property, with multiple reports of garbage and debris, including electronics and hazardous materials like needles, from July to September 2024. The building's maintenance records show recurring stair-related issues, with repairs documented in 2002 and 2006, both of which followed official violations. A routine safety inspection in 2015 identified several fire safety concerns, including missing fire extinguishers and carbon monoxide alarms, though these violations were subsequently resolved.

The building has undergone various maintenance work, including reroofing in 1994 and kitchen remodeling in 1992. Several violations and complaints have been recorded over the years, typically associated with routine inspections, including a possible sewage leak in 2010 that was resolved within two months. The property maintains an active record of compliance with housing and building codes, with most violations being addressed and abated in a timely manner, though there are some historical violations related to security requirements that were temporarily unaddressed. The building's most recent documented fire incident was a non-injury smoke detector malfunction, with no related injuries reported.

Risk rating

How 850-854 Vallejo 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
58th percentile

Out of 362 buildings in this neighborhood, 152 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 size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Building age

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

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 54.4%
Moderate concern 22.0%
Severe concern 23.6%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
