Initial analysis

The three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 2611-2615 Octavia Street in Pacific Heights, constructed in 1900, has undergone several significant structural and safety-related interventions over its history. The most critical event occurred in 2003 when the building experienced serious foundation issues resulting from neighboring excavation work at 2617 Octavia Street, with multiple violations documented between March and July of that year regarding compromised north foundation walls. This prompted a $20,000 foundation underpinning project, which was completed successfully, along with a separate $11,500 reroofing project in 2017.

The building's safety and structural integrity have been a focus of attention since the mid-1980s, when substantial improvements were made including the installation of a basement sprinkler system in 1985, structural revisions in 1985 (though this permit expired), and the construction of a new driveway/garage alteration in 1984. More recent maintenance activities have addressed various residential concerns, including multiple 311 calls regarding parking violations and public space maintenance between 2012 and 2024, though these are not directly related to building structural or safety concerns. The most recent building-related activity was the successful resolution of driveway obstruction issues reported in 2022 and 2023. The building has undergone regular housing inspections, with the most recent notable housing-related activity being a routine inspection in 2000 and a scheduled inspection in 2008 that noted previous violations had been addressed.

Risk rating

How 2611-2615 Octavia 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
67th percentile

Out of 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 318 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 age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Building size

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

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 58.1%
Moderate concern 18.9%
Severe concern 23.0%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
