Initial analysis

The property at 1602-1604 Pacific Avenue is a 2-story, 5-unit multi-family residential building built in 1900, owned by Umberto I & Loana Bozzetto. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the years, with the most recent being a completed electrical upgrade in 2019 that included replacing a 100-amp subpanel. Notable past improvements include various electrical installations in 2004-2005 for lighting and receptacles, and significant storefront modifications in 2012 to install an exterior pass-through window. The building's maintenance records show regular attention to infrastructure, including sidewalk repairs and accessibility improvements in 2005-2009. However, there are current concerns requiring attention, including an open violation from December 2023 regarding sleeping area requirements and several open 311 calls from January 2025 related to graffiti and illegal postings.

The property has experienced periodic fire safety inspections, with most violations being promptly corrected, though the recent sleeping area requirements violation remains open. Fire-related incidents have been minimal, with only two documented water/steam leak incidents and one carbon monoxide detector activation with no CO presence. The building's location has generated multiple 311 calls in recent months, primarily regarding garbage and debris on public property, with several cases related to abandoned Christmas trees and other waste materials, though these were generally resolved through normal city cleanup processes. Recent planning records indicate past approvals for commercial modifications to a retail grocery store (Cheese Plus) at an adjacent address (2001 Polk Street), including the installation of a walk-up facility and ABC license addition, though these are separate from the residential building's records.

Risk rating

How 1602-1604 Pacific Ave'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.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 34.8%
Moderate concern 30.9%
Severe concern 34.2%
