Initial analysis

The property at 1329-1331 Vallejo Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1916 in the Russian Hill neighborhood, currently owned by Michael L. Reed. Significant alterations to the building occurred between 1999-2001, including a controversial fourth-story addition and rear deck construction project valued at $100,000, which led to multiple building code violations in 2000 for exceeding approved work scopes. These violations involved unauthorized removal of interior partitions, installation of new ceilings and structural elements, and electrical work without proper permits. The building underwent various improvements in subsequent years, including the installation of residential fire sprinklers (2001), removal of lath and plaster (2000), and plumbing updates in 2018 involving relocation of hot water heaters and kitchen work. The property experienced multiple parking-related issues between 2020-2021, with numerous citations issued for vehicles blocking driveways, though these do not directly impact building safety or resident experience. The most recent building-related activity was completed electrical work in 2003, with no significant building permits or violations recorded in the past two decades. While the property has a history of building code violations from 2000, these were marked as "Active" but appeared to be abated by June 2000.

Risk rating

How 1329-1331 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
61th percentile

Out of 1133 buildings in this neighborhood, 442 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.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

Building age

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

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 70.0%
Moderate concern 16.0%
Severe concern 14.0%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
