Initial analysis

The 13-unit multi-family residential building at 2010 Pacific Avenue in Pacific Heights, owned by Zief Family Foundation Inc., was constructed in 1960 and has undergone several significant updates and faced various challenges over the years. Most recently, in 2024, the building has received substantial fire safety system upgrades, including a new fire alarm system with wireless sounders in all units' potential sleeping areas, new smoke detectors, and communication equipment, with a cost of $64,623. Additional fire safety improvements were made in 2024, including work on sprinkler and standpipe systems and fire extinguishers, with conditions confirmed as corrected. The building has experienced recurring fire safety system issues, with multiple violations and complaints between 2013 and 2028 relating to alarm systems, sprinklers, and emergency lighting.

The property has undergone significant modernization work, including the addition of a ground floor unit in 2011, and extensive plumbing and electrical upgrades between 2009-2017, involving complete renovations of multiple units' bathrooms and kitchens, including new fixtures, appliances, and safety systems. Structural maintenance work has included balcony/deck repairs in 2017 and various building maintenance improvements. Historical violations from 2005-2010 included issues with fire safety systems, emergency exits, and general maintenance concerns, which were subsequently abated. More recent parking enforcement issues have been documented, with multiple citations issued in 2024, indicating ongoing concerns with parking compliance in the area.

Risk rating

How 2010 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.
