Initial analysis

2299 Pacific Avenue is an 8-story multi-family residential building built in 1928, containing 14 units and currently owned by Consuelo H Panos Testamenta. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and safety improvements in recent years, including a comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade in March 2024 to meet current codes, and a kitchen remodel in Unit 22 completed in August 2024. The property has experienced recurring fire safety issues, with multiple violations documented between 2017 and 2024, though recent corrections show progress towards compliance. In September 2022, a new water heater was installed to replace a leaking unit, and in July 2020, a backflow device was replaced and certified.

The building has faced several notable challenges, including a water damage and mold complaint filed in May 2023 (which was abated by October 2023), and multiple building violations relating to damaged walls, ceiling repairs, and weatherproofing issues. The building's boiler system has been a recurring focus of regulatory attention, with several violations recorded between 2015 and 2024 regarding permit requirements and maintenance documentation. Recent improvements include the installation of a new boiler in 2009 and various plumbing upgrades. The property has also experienced regular false alarm incidents related to the fire alarm system, though fortunately, none have resulted in civilian injuries. While recent permit activity and violation abatement suggest proactive management of the building's maintenance needs, the property's history shows a pattern of intermittent issues requiring regulatory intervention, particularly related to fire safety systems and building maintenance.

Risk rating

How 2299 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

The project proposes to legalize an existing dwelling unit at the building's top floor which was previously installed without a permit, consistent with Planning Code Section 207.3 and DBI Information Sheet G-17. The project further seeks Zoning Administrator approval of a recorded release to NSR E338257, recorded March 22, 1989.
