Initial analysis

The 6-unit multi-family residential building at 446-448 Vallejo Street in Telegraph Hill, owned by the Saidi Family Trust, is a 3-story, 1915 flats building that has undergone significant modifications and faced multiple regulatory challenges in recent years. Between 2018 and 2020, substantial safety improvements were made, including the installation of a new sprinkler monitoring system and notification devices throughout the building, particularly in sleeping units, with associated plumbing and electrical work totaling over $40,000. The property has been the subject of several building violations and complaints, most notably regarding unauthorized windows installed in 2018 on the east property line, which remain an active violation under review. During 2020, there were multiple complaints about construction activity during shelter-in-place orders, with concerns about work in common areas and social distancing violations.

The building's recent history includes attempts to legalize additional units and improve safety systems, with permits for bathroom remodels, new ADU sprinkler installations, and plumbing upgrades totaling over $40,000. Historical violations from 2014 included mold/mildew issues and window hardware problems, which were eventually resolved. The property has also experienced some infrastructure challenges, including a 2014 Soft Story Retrofit Program violation that was not timely addressed. In 2023-2024, there have been multiple parking-related complaints near the property, though these are not directly related to the building's conditions. Recent planning records indicate ongoing efforts to address various compliance issues, including a focus on confirming unit legality and window installation compliance.

Risk rating

How 446-448 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.
