Initial analysis

The property at 2470-2472 Vallejo Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in Pacific Heights, constructed in 1922 and currently owned by Ed Lvg Tr. The building has undergone significant renovations and improvements over the past several years, with major work occurring between 2020-2021 including complete kitchen and bathroom remodels in both units, electrical system upgrades to 250 amps with car charging capability, comprehensive plumbing improvements including sewer lateral replacement, and installation of mini-split HVAC systems. A notable incident occurred in 2016 when an unauthorized horizontal addition constructed at the rear of the building led to violation notices and subsequent legal proceedings, though this was later legalized through proper permits in 2018.

Recent building improvements include a mechanical roof access modification in 2021, though a window replacement project from the same year was cancelled. The building has experienced some maintenance and compliance challenges, as evidenced by multiple complaints and violations in 2021 regarding unpermitted work, including concerns about construction activities, stair removal, and egress issues, though most of these issues were subsequently resolved. The property underwent a tenant buyout of $300,000 in May 2022, and has experienced recurring parking enforcement issues in recent months, with numerous citations issued for blocked driveways between 2023-2024, indicating ongoing challenges with parking management in the area.

Risk rating

How 2470-2472 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.
