Initial analysis

The Washington Street property is a 10-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1907 and currently owned by Ans Property Company, LLC. The building has undergone several significant safety improvements in recent years, including the completion of a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017 and a permit for foundation work in 2019 involving grouting injections along the east property line. Major renovations were completed in 2011 at 2532 Washington, including kitchen and bathroom updates, along with electrical system improvements such as a feeder upgrade and installation of smoke detectors. The building has faced some electrical and plumbing issues, with multiple violations documented in 2002, though these were all abated by September 2003. More recent concerns include a 2020 fire code violation related to building posting requirements and sprinkler obstructions, though these were subsequently abated.

The property's maintenance history shows regular attention to safety and modernization requirements, including garage seismic upgrades in 2004 and several routine safety inspections. While there have been multiple 311 calls regarding parking issues in the vicinity, these are external to the building's operations. A notable cluster of violations in 2002 required corrections to handrails, plumbing and electrical systems, and building permits, but these were all addressed promptly. The building's fire safety record shows two incidents in recent years - a "good intent" call with no injuries in 2020 and a previous exit maintenance complaint in 2018. The property has achieved compliance with the San Francisco soft-story program, receiving its Certificate of Final Completion (CFC) as a Tier 3 building.

Risk rating

How 2528-2534 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
19th percentile

Out of 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 780 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 50.5%
Moderate concern 28.5%
Severe concern 21.0%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
