Initial analysis

The three-story, six-unit multi-family residential building at 2566 Washington St in Pacific Heights, owned by Chens World Nv Ltd, is a 1900 construction that has undergone several significant structural improvements over the years. Most notably, the building completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit as a Tier 3 building, achieving Certificate of Final Completion (CFC) status, which was a particular focus of city code enforcement attention through complaints filed in 2020 that indicated initial non-compliance. The building has a documented history of foundation and structural improvements, including a major renovation in 2002 involving brick foundation replacement and bathroom renovations, with earlier permits dating back to 1999 showing repairs to the front stairs.

The building's safety systems have required attention, with a 2013 violation related to fire alarm system deficiencies that was resolved by December 2013. Recent 311 calls have predominantly concerned external matters such as sidewalk parking issues and abandoned vehicles in the vicinity, with multiple reports between 2021-2024. The most recent building-related activity was a utility excavation case from January 2019 and a tree maintenance request from September 2018, both of which were administrative matters rather than building code concerns. The building's documented history shows regular maintenance and compliance efforts, with all major safety retrofit programs now completed and no active violations on record.

Risk rating

How 2566 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, 530 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.

DBI tenant complaints (past 7 years)

Formal complaints tenants filed with DBI about this building over 7 years.

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 58.3%
Moderate concern 31.9%
Severe concern 9.9%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
