Initial analysis

The 60-unit, 5-story apartment building at 2300 Pacific Avenue in Pacific Heights, owned by Bgs Company, has undergone several significant maintenance and upgrade projects since its construction in 1971. Most notably, in early 2024, the building initiated a fire alarm system upgrade to modern devices, including LF horns in units and a wireless monitoring communicator, addressing current fire marshal requirements. Recent years have seen multiple fire safety-related violations, including a 2023 sleeping area requirement violation and 2023 alarm system maintenance violation, though the latter was abated. The building has experienced recurring issues with its fire alarm system, documented violations from 2007 to 2023, and several false alarm incidents.

The property has maintained an active renovation schedule, completing water damage repairs in 2021 (Units 105/205/305), wood shake siding repairs in 2018, and a complete reroofing in 2016 at a cost of $20,000. Individual unit remodels have been performed in apartments 206 (2015), 307 (2014), and 308 (2013), including kitchen and bathroom upgrades. Historical records show a pattern of fire egress obstruction issues in 2002 that were resolved, and concerns about construction notification to tenants in 2013. The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to essential systems, though recent fire safety violations suggest ongoing compliance challenges in this area. Several 311 calls in 2024 have addressed various building-related issues, including property damage reports and parking violations, while recent graffiti incidents on the mailbox were reported to the USPS in late 2024.

Risk rating

How 2300 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
4th percentile

Out of 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 924 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Number of units

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

Building size

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

Owner's portfolio size

Number of SF parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios have distinct risk patterns.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 30.1%
Moderate concern 62.2%
Severe concern 7.7%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
