Initial analysis

The three-story, five-unit multi-family residential building at 450-454 Vallejo Street in Telegraph Hill, owned by Gregory Hutchins, was constructed in 1912 and has undergone several significant renovations and modifications over the years. The most recent major structural work occurred in 2017, when the rear building's foundation wall height was increased by 24 inches to address water infiltration issues and repair rotting wood framing, at a cost of $30,000. In 2008, substantial improvements were made to both the front and rear buildings, including the installation of private roof decks (376 sf for 454 Vallejo and 331 sf for 450A), kitchen and bathroom remodels, and comprehensive electrical upgrades, including a 400-amp service upgrade and the installation of four new furnaces with ductwork for all units. The building has had its share of maintenance and safety issues, with a notable cluster of violations in 2005 regarding fire safety and structural concerns, including egress obstructions, structural wood post repairs, and smoke detector installations, all of which were abated by July 2005.

More recent history shows regular maintenance and upgrades, including water heater replacement in 2018 and various plumbing inspections. The property has recorded three complaints regarding unauthorized construction work in 2008-2009, though these were marked as "Not Active." There have been no fire incidents reported, and a routine inspection in 2005 was the only significant violation cluster on record. Recent community issues have primarily involved exterior matters such as tree maintenance, parking concerns, and sidewalk cleaning, as documented through 311 calls between 2020 and 2024. The most recent building-related issues were primarily related to parking and street maintenance rather than building safety or habitability concerns.

Risk rating

How 450-454 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.
