Initial analysis

The three-story, nine-unit apartment building at 1765 Vallejo Street in Pacific Heights, owned by Robert S. Levitsky, was constructed in 1900 and has undergone several significant safety upgrades over the past two decades. Most notably, the building completed a seismic retrofit in 2016 as a Tier 3 soft-story building, with the work including moment frame modifications and new footing configurations. The building has also received recent attention to its fire safety systems, with violations addressed in 2023-2024 related to blocked exits, alarm systems, and fire extinguishers. Between 2008-2013, major improvements included a comprehensive fire sprinkler system replacement and upgrades to the fire alarm system across all floors.

The property has experienced various maintenance and habitability issues over its history, with the most recent complaint in March 2023 documenting problems including mold, inoperable kitchen windows, peeling paint, water damage, and front door security concerns. Historical records indicate periods of utility outages, with gas and electricity issues reported in 2005-2006, and multiple fire safety violations between 2015-2019 regarding alarms and extinguishers. The building underwent significant fire safety improvements in 2008, including the installation of new underground piping for the sprinkler system, and has maintained active responses to fire safety inspections, including recent violations in late 2023 that were promptly addressed.

Risk rating

How 1765 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.
