Initial analysis

The 8-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 1614 Vallejo Street in Pacific Heights, owned by the Guntren Family Partnership, has undergone several significant safety and maintenance upgrades since its construction in 1965. Most recently, in December 2023, the building received important fire safety improvements with an upgraded fire alarm system installation, including new panels, devices, and low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas to meet current safety standards, at a cost of approximately $39,000. The building successfully completed mandatory seismic safety improvements through a soft-story retrofit in 2018-2019 (with a total cost of $115,000), including the installation of a steel moment frame, cantilever column, and other structural updates to comply with San Francisco's seismic safety requirements.

The property has a history of addressing various maintenance and safety issues, including a heating system failure and locked fire escape reported in 2019, and a door access problem affecting a medical tenant in 2021. The building underwent reroofing work in 2020 and had some interior maintenance issues in 2004, including water damage repairs and multiple interior surface violations, all of which were subsequently addressed. Regular routine safety inspections have been conducted over the years, with all identified issues being resolved. The building's recent fire safety upgrades and completion of seismic retrofit requirements demonstrate ongoing commitment to maintaining safety standards. While there have been occasional concerns reported through 311 calls regarding parking and noise issues in the surrounding area, these are typical for urban environments and are generally not directly related to building management.

Risk rating

How 1614 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
37th percentile

Out of 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 607 are predicted to be safer.
