Initial analysis

The 15-unit multi-family residential building at 1730 Vallejo Street in Pacific Heights, owned by Wendy A Woo Revoc Trust, was constructed in 1923 and has undergone several significant upgrades and repairs over the past decade. Most notably, the building completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017 at a cost of $180,000, addressing seismic safety requirements as a Tier 3 building. Recent maintenance work includes a $63,000 deck repair in 2019 following a violation notice regarding rotted framing, reroofing in late 2019, and various unit renovations between 2013 and 2014 involving bathroom and kitchen upgrades in multiple apartments, including units #4, #5, and #9.

The building has experienced several safety-related incidents and violations, including multiple fire code violations in 2019 and 2017, concerns about sprinkler systems, and a significant fire-related event in 2004 involving heater malfunction and smoke damage. While all listed violations have been marked as abated, the history suggests periodic attention to fire safety systems has been necessary. The property recently underwent window replacement in 2014 with new double-pane fiberglass/wood windows, and various plumbing and electrical upgrades have been completed through the years. The building has also had regular fire inspections, with most recent fire-related incidents showing no fire but recent smoke detector activity in 2019. Recent 311 calls indicate standard urban maintenance issues typical for the neighborhood, such as street cleaning and parking concerns.

Risk rating

How 1730 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.
