Initial analysis

The four-unit residential building at 2296-2298 Vallejo Street in Pacific Heights is a three-story, 1906 multi-family structure currently owned by Vallejo SF LLC. The property has undergone significant improvements over the past decade, with major renovations completed in 2011-2012 including the installation of a fire sprinkler monitoring alarm system ($17,000), comprehensive HVAC updates including the replacement of four furnaces, and multiple electrical system upgrades including new load centers and extensive wiring work totaling over $37,000. Recent building improvements include an attempted door replacement project in 2016, though this permit was ultimately cancelled.

The building has a relatively clean safety record, with only routine safety inspections recorded, the most recent being in 2014, and one plumbing issue from 2003 that was promptly resolved within ten days. Fire safety systems have been activated multiple times (approximately eight incidents) between 2013-2014, primarily due to system malfunctions or false alarms, with no reported injuries or actual fires. Recent maintenance issues have primarily involved exterior cleaning matters, with multiple reports of garbage and debris on the property and surrounding area throughout 2024, though these were not directly related to building safety or habitability. Significant exterior modifications have been proposed and approved, including the expansion of the fourth-floor penthouse and addition of dormers, though some proposals have also been limited to specific elements like adding a 30-inch parapet wall. The property appears well-maintained in terms of major systems, with comprehensive updates to plumbing, electrical, and safety systems completed systematically over the years.

Risk rating

How 2296-2298 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.
