Initial analysis

The three-story, six-unit multi-family residential building at 2418 Washington Street in Pacific Heights, built in 1900, has undergone several significant renovations and maintenance work over the past few years, most notably in 2023 with comprehensive upgrades to Unit 4 including electrical and plumbing improvements, kitchen reconfiguration, and installation of a new subpanel. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, including a major re-roofing project completed in 2020 at a cost of $38,650, demonstrating proper attention to building envelope maintenance.

The property has experienced some resident concerns in recent months, particularly regarding construction activity and its impact on parking in the neighborhood. A complaint filed in August 2023 expressed concerns about multiple simultaneous permits and parking issues, though this complaint is currently listed as "Not Active." The building has had several inspection-related matters in the past, including a 2001 complaint about unpermitted construction work in Units 1 and 2, and a 1999 complaint regarding an allegedly unauthorized seventh unit in the basement, both of which were resolved. Historical records show a pattern of regular maintenance and upgrades, including floor repairs in Unit 5 in 1998 and various plumbing improvements, with the most recent being completed in September 2023. The building's management has generally maintained proper permits for renovations, though there have been occasional compliance issues in the past, such as the 1997 report of a leaking roof.

Risk rating

How 2418 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.

Neighborhood percentile

Out of 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 587 are predicted to be safer.
