Initial analysis

1554 Vallejo Street is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Russian Hill neighborhood. Built in 1916 and currently owned by Mvm Investments LLC, this flats and duplex-style property has undergone several significant modifications over its history. The most substantial work occurred in the mid-1980s when the building was extended by 36 feet at the rear, fire sprinkler systems were revised, and a fire escape balcony with ladder was constructed, all of which were completed successfully. The building underwent reroofing work in 1993, though records indicate these permits expired. A street space permit was issued in 2010 with an associated minimal cost.

Recent issues affecting the property include multiple incidents of parking violations, particularly in 2021-2022, with eight documented cases of vehicles blocking driveways, though most were resolved without direct citations. The most recent service requests include a furniture removal case from January 2024, an ongoing graffiti situation reported in early 2024, and various parking-related complaints. A moderate noise complaint regarding amplified sound was recorded and resolved in June 2021. While some of these incidents may affect resident experience, particularly the recent graffiti and ongoing parking challenges, the building's major systems appear to be maintained properly based on available permit records, with no recent permits indicating any significant structural or systems upgrades.

Risk rating

How 1554 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.
