Initial analysis

The 1624-1626 Vallejo Street property is a 10-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1890, currently owned by Steven H & Nancy J Woods Re. The building has undergone significant renovations and maintenance work over the past decade, including a completed soft-story retrofit in 2016, comprehensive bathroom and kitchen remodels in 2022-2023, and various plumbing and electrical upgrades. Recent work in 2023 involved bathroom modifications and floor drain installations, while earlier improvements included exterior stair rebuilding in 2023 and major unit renovations in 2017.

The building has experienced several maintenance and safety issues over its history, particularly between 2006-2008, when there were complaints regarding lighting, fire safety, and stairway conditions. These issues, including combustible storage concerns and lighting problems, were subsequently addressed and marked as not active. Recent fire safety inspections in 2024 and 2021 found no merit to alarm system complaints, and the building maintains its fire protection equipment in compliance with requirements. The property has also undergone various planning actions, including a 4-unit condominium conversion and a soft-story retrofit, demonstrating ongoing investment in structural safety improvements. Recent 311 calls from 2023-2024 have primarily concerned external issues such as tree maintenance and sidewalk cleaning, indicating that the building's internal systems and maintenance have generally stabilized in recent years.

Risk rating

How 1624-1626 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.
