Initial analysis

Located in San Francisco's Pacific Heights neighborhood, 2223 Pacific Avenue is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by John & Yvonne Niven Revocable Trust. The property has undergone several significant structural and safety improvements over the past two decades, with the most substantial recent work occurring in 2012 when the brick foundation was replaced at a cost of $40,000 and the installation of two tankless water heaters. A major rehabilitation project took place between 2001 and 2004, including the replacement of interior staircase components, first-floor bathroom remodeling, chimney replacement with a new masonry firebox, and the construction of new stairs and walkway to the front door, which involved underpinning the masonry foundation at the front of the house. The electrical system has also seen upgrades, notably a 200-amp service installation in 2003 and exterior lighting improvements in 2004.

The building's maintenance record shows regular upkeep of essential systems, with completed permits for various improvements demonstrating ongoing investment in the property's infrastructure. The most recent complaints related to the property have been primarily parking-related issues in 2024, including reports of illegal parking and abandoned vehicles on the street, which while not directly related to the building's condition or management, may affect the neighborhood's overall character. Historical permits indicate careful attention to both structural and aesthetic elements, including a 2004 project to replace an existing wooden deck with stone, though this permit ultimately expired. The property appears to be well-maintained, with all major structural work properly permitted and completed, though potential tenants should be aware of the building's age and the associated maintenance requirements typical of early 20th-century structures.

Risk rating

How 2223 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

Out of 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 221 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.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Property class: multi-family flat

2–4 unit flats (class F) are a common SF building type with their own maintenance and complaint patterns.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 78.1%
Moderate concern 12.5%
Severe concern 9.4%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
