Initial analysis

The property at 2934-2936 Octavia Street in the Cow Hollow neighborhood is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1908, currently owned by Lianna Louise Piccetti. The building underwent significant seismic safety improvements in 2018, with both the front and rear buildings receiving voluntary soft story retrofits to comply with San Francisco's 2016 building codes, representing a substantial investment in structural safety. The year 2017 marked a period of extensive upgrades, including window replacements in the front building, kitchen and bathroom renovations in unit 2936, and electrical system improvements with a noteworthy service upgrade from 100A to 400A. Additional improvements during this period included the installation of new electrical sub-panels and various plumbing updates, though some plumbing permits from 2018 have since expired.

More recent activity includes a garage electrical rough-in permit issued in late 2019, indicating continued property modifications. The building's maintenance record shows attention to both aesthetic and functional elements, from window replacements and kitchen remodels to comprehensive electrical system upgrades. Historical records also show a reroofing project completed in 2007, and street space permits were issued in 2011. While the property has undergone significant improvements to enhance safety and modernize its systems, it's worth noting that some permits from 2018 related to gas pipe testing and plumbing work expired without completion status being recorded in the system.

Risk rating

How 2934-2936 Octavia 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
62th percentile

Out of 861 buildings in this neighborhood, 327 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building age

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

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 36.9%
Moderate concern 13.7%
Severe concern 49.4%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
