Initial analysis

Located in San Francisco's Pacific Heights neighborhood, 2300 Webster Street is a 6-story, 31-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1925 and currently owned by Franklin Vista LLC. The building has undergone several significant improvements in recent years, with the most substantial work focused on Unit 502, including multiple bathroom additions, kitchen modifications, and laundry installations, with the latest permits totaling approximately $45,000 issued in April 2024. In 2024, important safety upgrades were completed, including a fire alarm system upgrade costing $81,343 to comply with current fire code requirements, including the installation of low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas to meet 75db at pillow requirements.

The building has a documented history of boiler permit issues, with multiple complaints filed between 2010 and 2019 regarding expired permits, though these violations appear to have been resolved by November 2011. There have been two notable recent fire safety violations: an open sleeping area requirement violation from December 2023 and previous fire system maintenance violations in 2007. The property has experienced periodic maintenance issues, including water intrusion damage repair in unit 604 (2017) and various routine maintenance matters. Recent complaints indicate some operational concerns, including an active complaint from December 2024 about an unresponsive retired manager in unit 100. The building's infrastructure has seen significant investment, including a 400-amp underground service upgrade in 2008, reroofing work in 2019, and ongoing parking improvement projects. The property has maintained compliance with most building codes, though there have been recurring fire alarm system issues requiring ongoing attention since 2016. Recent 311 calls primarily relate to external matters such as parking and street maintenance, rather than building-specific issues.

Risk rating

How 2300 Webster St'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
3th percentile

Out of 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 934 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.

Building age

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 18.8%
Moderate concern 76.2%
Severe concern 5.1%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
