Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2406-2408 Washington Street in Pacific Heights, owned by Laurence A Goldberg, has undergone significant recent improvements, most notably a substantial upper unit renovation completed in September 2023 valued at $110,000. This comprehensive renovation included updates to the kitchen and three bathrooms, along with electrical rewiring, plumbing work across multiple bathrooms, kitchen, and laundry facilities. The building, constructed in 1900, has a documented history of maintenance and upgrades, with earlier work in 1998 focusing on various improvements including reroofing, fireplace restoration, and facade updates. A significant reconfiguration project from December 1997 converted the building into its current two-unit layout.

The property has experienced recurring issues with driveway parking violations, with at least four documented cases between 2021 and 2024, resulting in at least two citations being issued. The area has also faced occasional street cleaning challenges, with reports of loose garbage and waste issues in 2022 and 2019. A notable infrastructure concern was addressed in 2014 when a sidewalk defect was documented, revealing approximately 250 square feet of damaged/uneven sidewalk that required attention. The most recent building improvements and the substantial investment in upgrading the upper unit's facilities suggest active management of the property and commitment to maintaining its condition, though the recurring parking enforcement issues indicate a persistent neighborhood concern in this area.

Risk rating

How 2406-2408 Washington 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.
