Initial analysis

This two-unit residential building, located at 2849-2851 Steiner Street in Pacific Heights, was constructed in 1907 and has undergone several significant renovations and safety improvements over the past two decades. Most notably, between 2017-2018, the property underwent comprehensive seismic strengthening work in the garage area, including improvements to the electrical system and related structural modifications costing approximately $25,000. The building has seen substantial interior renovations between 2011-2012, including complete kitchen and bathroom remodels in both units, installation of new plumbing systems, and electrical upgrades, with these improvements totaling over $60,000.

More recent modifications include an attempted deck installation in 2019 that was ultimately cancelled, though a rear yard variance for a similar deck construction was approved in 2016. The property has had regular maintenance and updates, including new siding and window installations in 2017 ($27,000) and a minor stair repair for dry rot issues in 1998. The building's maintenance record shows proper attention to safety and modernization, though there have been recurring issues with parking violations and occasional environmental concerns in the vicinity, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls regarding parking enforcement, tree maintenance, and street cleaning between 2019-2024. The most recent building-related 311 calls have been primarily for street-level issues rather than building concerns, indicating no major structural or safety issues in recent years.

Risk rating

How 2849-2851 Steiner 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
78th percentile

Out of 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 212 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.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 71.1%
Moderate concern 13.0%
Severe concern 15.8%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
