Initial analysis

The 15-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 2474 Washington Street in Pacific Heights, owned by Churchill Partners LLC, has a documented history dating back to 1925. The building has undergone several significant safety upgrades, including a completed soft-story retrofit in 2018 (Tier 4) costing $92,340 to comply with seismic safety requirements. The property has experienced recurring fire safety issues, particularly with alarm systems, showing six documented violations or complaints between 2012 and 2025, with the most recent violation being an open case from January 2025 regarding sleeping area requirements. Recent improvements include a pending fire alarm system upgrade (filed September 2023) to meet 2022 San Francisco Fire Code requirements, and completed plumbing and electrical work in 2020 for installing a washer/dryer in the boiler room. The building also underwent sewer and house trap replacement work in May 2024.

Historical records show some structural maintenance work, including a retaining wall replacement in 2005 (with an expired permit). There have been minimal tenant complaints, with only two building violations on record: one in 2007 regarding unpermitted window and remodeling work (resolved within weeks) and one routine housing inspection in 1999-2013. The property has experienced some exterior maintenance issues, as evidenced by three documented 311 calls between 2019 and 2022 regarding street cleaning, though these incidents were promptly addressed and resolved. The building's overall record shows consistent investment in safety improvements, though the recurring nature of fire safety violations suggests an ongoing need for attention to this critical aspect of building maintenance.

Risk rating

How 2474 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
31th percentile

Out of 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 664 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 42.4%
Moderate concern 39.4%
Severe concern 18.2%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
