Initial analysis

The property at 2188-2190 Vallejo Street is a four-story, two-unit multi-family residential building located in Pacific Heights, constructed in 1912 and currently owned by Vallejo 2188 LLC. The building has undergone several significant renovation projects, most notably a substantial 2018-2020 renovation that included basement addition, interior remodeling, wood window replacement, and the addition of a rooftop deck with approximately 1,054 cubic yards of excavation. Historical maintenance work includes various deck repairs (2002-2003), bathroom updates (2000, 2003), and general upkeep addressing issues like dry rot (1987, 2002). The building's infrastructure has been maintained regularly, with electrical work documented during bathroom and deck renovations.

The property has experienced multiple maintenance-related incidents over the years, with documented issues including water leaks, false alarms, and a gas leak (though no injuries were reported in any incidents), indicating some ongoing infrastructure challenges. Recent cases in 2022-2024 show typical urban issues such as graffiti, debris, and noise complaints, though these are primarily related to street-level concerns rather than building-specific problems. A tenant buyout recorded in 2017 involved one tenant receiving $4,500 to vacate the premises. The building's permit history shows continuous investment in maintaining and upgrading the property, with the most recent significant work being the 2018-2020 renovation project, though a proposed wrought iron fence installation from 2020 appears to be still in filed status.

Risk rating

How 2188-2190 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.
