Initial analysis

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 2307-2311 Van Ness Avenue in Pacific Heights, owned by Krause Trust, was constructed in 1900 and consists of three stories. The property has undergone several significant renovations and maintenance updates over the past decades, including the replacement of six windows with energy-efficient vinyl frame windows in 2019 ($3,800), kitchen and bathroom renovations in 1990, and various window installations in the late 1980s. A notable tenant buyout occurred on May 15, 2019, with one tenant receiving $56,000.

The building experienced a series of fire safety and security violations in October 2008, including issues with fire extinguishers, gas shutoff tools, and self-closing doors, all of which were resolved by December 2008. While there have been multiple fire incidents recorded, including elevator rescues and cooking-related alarms, none resulted in civilian injuries. The property underwent a routine inspection in 1999 and has maintained its residential status despite historical attempts to convert some areas to commercial use, with these efforts ultimately being cancelled or marked as "not active." Recent activity at the location has been minimal, with primarily municipal service calls related to transit facilities and street cleaning in the surrounding area during 2023-2025, though these are not directly related to the building's condition or management.

Risk rating

How 2307-2311 Van Ness Ave'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
57th percentile

Out of 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 414 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.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

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.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 51.0%
Moderate concern 19.2%
Severe concern 29.8%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
