Initial analysis

The property at 2225-2227 Pacific Avenue is a three-story, multi-family residential building located in Pacific Heights, containing two units and constructed in 1900. Under current ownership by Shih Ji Yin LLC, the building underwent significant renovations in late 2016, including substantial interior remodeling of two kitchens and two master bathrooms, with associated work on wall modifications, utility relocations, and overall interior updates costing approximately $226,000. This period also saw the installation of new furnaces, bathroom renovations, and washer-dryer additions, with proper plumbing and electrical work completed in early 2017, totaling over $100,000 for various improvements. The building's roof has received attention in multiple past renovations, with records showing complete roofing work in 2004 ($23,150), 2009 ($6,200), and most recently in 2016 ($10,500), totaling over $35,000 in roofing maintenance.

The property has maintained reasonable upkeep since the major renovations, with the most recent building-related activity being a minor street space permit issued in 2017. External maintenance issues have been minimal, with only routine matters such as faded and bent street signs reported in January 2023, all of which have been resolved. There was one instance of graffiti reported in September 2023 near the property, which was promptly addressed and resolved. Historical records show some past permits for window replacement (2012) and a lapsed kitchen remodel permit from 1984, though this appears to have been superseded by the more comprehensive 2016-2017 renovations. The building's extensive recent improvements, including comprehensive updates to kitchens, bathrooms, and systems, suggest thorough modernization and maintenance of the property while preserving its historic character.

Risk rating

How 2225-2227 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.
