Initial analysis

The three-story, six-unit multi-family residential building at 357-361 Vallejo Street in Telegraph Hill, built in 1906, has undergone significant recent renovations and improvements, particularly the addition of two accessory dwelling units (ADUs) at the ground floor under San Francisco's ADU Ordinance 162-16. Most recent work includes 2023 modifications to ADU layouts in units 361A and 357A, including bathroom relocation and window modifications. The building completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit program as a Tier 4 project, which included seismic upgrades and the installation of fire sprinklers throughout the ground floor in 2022, indicating a commitment to improving structural safety.

The property has undergone substantial infrastructure upgrades including a new 400-amp electrical service installed in 2023, comprehensive plumbing renovations including sewer line replacement in 2021, and unit remodels for several apartments including kitchen and bathroom updates. Building systems have received attention with the installation of a new fire alarm system in 2021 and compliance work addressing various safety concerns. Notable past issues include a period of unauthorized electrical work (reported in 2021) and multiple complaints in 2021 regarding construction site conditions and porta-potty maintenance, though these were subsequently addressed and abated. While there was one building-related violation in 2020 regarding expired permits for structural work, this was resolved through completion of the required soft-story retrofit program. The property has maintained compliance with recent building codes, as evidenced by the issuance of various permits for safety system upgrades and structural improvements.

Risk rating

How 357-361 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.
