Initial analysis

The four-unit multi-family residential building at 2052-2058 Vallejo Street in Pacific Heights, owned by Weldon & Nancy Smith 2010 F, is a 2-story apartment structure built in 1900. Recent significant maintenance activities include a rear deck repair in 2021, where rotted posts and rim joists were replaced with pressure-treated wood at a cost of $3,000, following a violation for unauthorized structural work with untreated materials and questionable hardware connections. The building underwent reroofing in 2014 ($32,954) and completed a master bathroom remodel in Apartment #3 in 2011, which included plumbing and electrical work for new fixtures and washer/dryer installation ($9,037). The property has experienced several compliance issues, including a 2014 routine safety inspection that revealed multiple violations requiring correction, such as wood stair repairs and fire safety upgrades like sprinkler head replacements, all of which were abated.

The building's recent history includes multiple tenant complaints regarding construction activity in early 2022, with concerns about unauthorized work and noise disruption, though these issues were resolved through proper permitting and communication with the construction team. There have been recurring parking-related issues near the property, with multiple citations for blocking driveways recorded between 2023 and 2024, though some requests could not be validated. A tenant buyout occurred at 2056 Vallejo Street in March 2022, with one tenant receiving $22,500. The property has two documented fire-related incidents, both of which were false alarms or malfunction issues with no injuries reported. While the building has had its share of maintenance and compliance challenges over the years, most issues appear to have been addressed through proper channels once brought to attention.

Risk rating

How 2052-2058 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.
