AI summary

1761 Vallejo Street is a 4-story, 12-unit multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Pacific Heights neighborhood, built in 1964 and currently owned by the Susan M. Mitchell Revocable Trust. The building has undergone several significant safety and maintenance upgrades over the past decade, most notably completing mandatory seismic soft-story retrofitting in 2015 (Tier 3) at a cost of $95,000 and a comprehensive fire alarm system modernization. Recent fire safety improvements include the installation of low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas (ongoing updates in 2022 and 2023), replacement of fire alarm control panels, and upgrading fire alarm devices including pull stations and detectors.

The building experienced recurring fire escape maintenance issues between 2001 and 2009, with multiple violations related to fire escape drop ladder maintenance, though these were ultimately resolved. A notable recent incident occurred in February 2023 involving a broken back gate granting unauthorized access to the property, linked to security concerns about thefts. The property has maintained active compliance with fire safety regulations, though there was a recent violation issued in September 2023 related to fire extinguisher servicing that was noted as corrected by November 2023. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, including a 2015 kitchen and bathroom remodel in Unit 301, a 2016 street space permit, and previous roofing work in 2006. While there have been various 311 calls regarding the property and its surroundings, these primarily relate to exterior issues such as parking violations, debris, and sidewalk maintenance rather than building-specific concerns.

Risk rating

How 1761 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.
