Initial analysis

The property at 2281-2283 Green Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in Pacific Heights, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Michael E Markels. The building has undergone numerous maintenance and improvement projects over the past two decades, with the most recent significant work including termite repairs in 2021 ($20,400), reroofing in 2021 ($17,000), and plumbing upgrades in 2019 with the installation of two 50-gallon water heaters. The property has an active historical violation related to an unauthorized deck construction from 2017, measuring approximately 14 feet above grade with specific construction details that were built without permits. This violation led to a series of related complaints and enforcement actions between 2017-2019, including a revoked permit application and multiple Notices of Violation. The building has received various improvements over the years, including a kitchen and bathroom remodel in 2001 ($50,000), window replacement in 2012, and deck repairs in 2018. More recent maintenance includes the installation of new furnaces with a B-vent flue stack in 2017, though there was also an unauthorized exterior washer/dryer installation reported in 2018 that was subsequently addressed. The property has experienced recurring issues with parking enforcement, with multiple citations issued for driveway blocking between 2023-2024, and recent concerns about pavement and curb defects reported to the Department of Public Works in September 2023.

Risk rating

How 2281-2283 Green 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

Out of 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 77 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.

Property class: single-family home

Single-family homes (class A) have distinct violation and complaint patterns from multi-family buildings.

Notices of Violation, owner's portfolio

DBI NOVs across all buildings this owner is registered on — a signal of systemic maintenance issues across the portfolio.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 86.4%
Moderate concern 10.5%
Severe concern 3.1%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
