Initial analysis

The 7-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 1964 Pacific Avenue in Pacific Heights was built in 1902 and is currently managed by the Gillis Family Trust. The property has undergone several significant upgrades and renovations in recent years, with the most recent work completed in early 2024 involving a comprehensive $94,055 remodel of Unit 2 that included kitchen and bathroom updates, electrical upgrades, and window modifications. Prior improvements include foundation work in 2015, window and door replacements in Unit 6 (2020), and various repairs to Unit 2 in 2022 that involved insulation, electrical, and plumbing upgrades. The building has a history of addressing code violations and safety concerns, particularly in 2005 when multiple violations were documented regarding fire safety, security requirements, and utility systems, though these were all abated by 2010.

Recent tenant complaints include concerns about unauthorized cabinet removal in Unit 2 (2024) and structural concerns related to neighboring property work (2018). The building has experienced periodic issues with its fire alarm system, with several false alarms and malfunctions recorded between 2016 and 2022, though none resulted in injuries. There have been two documented short-term rental violations (Units 4 and 6) which were subsequently resolved. The property is currently facing recurring issues with parking violations in the vicinity, as evidenced by multiple citations issued between late 2024 and early 2025. A 2019 tenant buyout occurred involving 3 tenants at 1966 Pacific Avenue with a payment of $20,939.

Risk rating

How 1964 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.

Neighborhood percentile
32th percentile

Out of 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 655 are predicted to be safer.
