Initial analysis

The three-story, two-unit residential building at 2183-2185 Pacific Avenue in Pacific Heights was constructed in 1900 and is currently owned by Zhene Nian Fang 2012 Irrevocable Trust. The property has undergone several significant modifications and repairs over the years, with the most recent and substantial being a $43,000 structural repair project to the second and third-floor rear roof decks in 2024, which will address dry rot issues in the decking, roofing, and structural framing. Previous notable improvements include attempts to enclose the third-floor deck with a glass solarium in 2003 (which was ultimately cancelled), a failed permit taken for kitchen-bedroom conversions in 2003, and various bathroom and laundry room modifications in the mid-1990s.

The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of addressing structural and functional improvements, though there have been some permit compliance issues in the past, including a complaint in 2007 about unpermitted work involving scaffolding and debris removal, which was promptly abated. Recent activity (2022-2024) primarily consists of external matters such as parking violations and street cleaning issues, with multiple citations issued for driveway blocking. A notable business-related approval was granted in 2021 for De Negoce, allowing various alcoholic beverage sales licenses (Type 02, 09, 17, 20) for Internet and non-in-person sales, though no on-site production is associated with these licenses. The property's recent maintenance focus has shifted towards addressing structural integrity issues, as evidenced by the 2024 roof deck repairs, which should enhance the long-term sustainability of the building's exterior spaces.

Risk rating

How 2183-2185 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, 106 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 size

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

Building age

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

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 80.7%
Moderate concern 11.7%
Severe concern 7.5%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
