Initial analysis

The three-story, five-unit multi-family residential building at 2059 Vallejo Street in Pacific Heights, constructed in 1900, has undergone several significant renovations and faced various maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, between 2023 and 2024, the building completed comprehensive kitchen remodels in Units 1, 2, and 4, including cabinet and countertop replacements, totaling approximately $90,000 in work to address a complaint regarding unpermitted construction. The property underwent reroofing work costing $36,000 in November 2024, marking a significant maintenance update. Historical records from 1986 show completed underpinning work, while the 1994 reroofing permits have expired without being marked as completed, which may require verification.

The building has experienced some maintenance challenges, including a sewage backup incident in March 2024 and an active plumbing issue from December 1997 related to water drainage onto the adjacent property. There have been several routine housing inspections conducted in 2000 and 2009, all of which were resolved. The property has a history of parking-related issues in the vicinity, with multiple reports of sidewalk blocking and driveway obstruction between 2018 and 2024, though these are not directly related to the building's condition. Two minor fire-related service calls were recorded, neither resulting in injuries. The building's recent permit activity demonstrates ongoing maintenance and improvement efforts, particularly in unit renovations and building infrastructure updates, though the presence of some expired permits and historical maintenance records may warrant further attention.

Risk rating

How 2059 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.
