Initial analysis

The property at 2843 Steiner Street in Pacific Heights is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by the Joyce E Goldstein Revocable Trust. The building has undergone several significant updates and maintenance work over the past few decades, with the most recent being the installation of a rooftop solar electric system in November 2021. The property has received attention to its infrastructure, including a water service replacement in 2017, sewer line and trap replacement in 2015, and the installation of a new water heater in 2014. Historical records show the building has maintained its structural integrity through various upgrades, including seismic improvements in 1994 with anchor bolts, and was reportedly renovated in the mid-1980s with bathroom and kitchen updates.

The building's maintenance history reveals attention to both preventive measures and reactive repairs, including dry rot and termite remediation in 1997. Compliance inspections were addressed in 2011, and the property underwent a condo conversion process that was completed in 2004, during which electrical modifications such as installing a common area meter were implemented. The property's infrastructure has been systematically upgraded over the years, with significant investments in plumbing systems and safety features. While the building is over a century old, its documented history shows regular maintenance and upgrades to meet modern standards, including recent environmental sustainability improvements with the solar installation.

Risk rating

How 2843 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
47th percentile

Out of 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 510 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 (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

Building age

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

Neighborhood location

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 67.0%
Moderate concern 17.9%
Severe concern 15.1%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
