Initial analysis

The 29-unit, 6-story apartment building at 1900 Vallejo Street in Pacific Heights, owned by Goodman Trust and built in 1927, has undergone several significant upgrades and faced recurring maintenance challenges in recent years. Most notably, in 2023-2024, the building has been involved in fire safety upgrades, including a full AB-3.08 fire alarm system upgrade in August 2023 to comply with current code requirements for low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas, followed by additional fire alarm-related work filed in December 2023 that is currently in process. The building has experienced multiple heating system issues, with complaints about inadequate heat dating back to 2004 and recurring problems in 2024, leading to violations regarding proper heating maintenance and temperature requirements. Recent improvements include a completed kitchen remodel in Unit 204 in 2023 ($31,750), reroofing work in 2021 ($67,300), and various unit-specific renovations in the late 2000s.

The property has a history of fire safety concerns, with violations issued in December 2023 for sleeping area requirements and multiple fire code violations, though some previous fire-related issues have been resolved, such as the 2017 alarm systems violation. Recent building complaints indicate ongoing maintenance challenges, including a leaking basement laundry room roof (2024) and issues with sink and electrical components in 2024. The building has also undergone several major systems upgrades, including the installation of a new steam boiler in 2009 and the replacement of hot water storage tanks in 2017. Despite these improvements, the property has experienced recurring heating system issues, with multiple violations recorded between 2004 and 2024 related to inadequate heat provision. Historical complaints from the late 1990s include plumbing and drainage issues, though many of these problems appear to have been addressed through subsequent renovations and repairs.

Risk rating

How 1900 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.
