Initial analysis

The building at 2455 Washington Street is a two-story multi-family residential structure located in Pacific Heights, containing 4 units and constructed in 1900, currently owned by Michael R. and Loretto E. Rossi. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the years, with the most recent major renovation occurring in 2017-2018, including an interior non-structural remodel of restrooms and bedrooms, creation of an office, and electrical and plumbing upgrades totaling approximately $35,000. This work was accompanied by modifications to the driveway and exterior improvements. The building has maintained good structural integrity, with important foundation work completed in 2004 involving replacement of damaged brick footings with concrete footings.

Historical records show earlier improvements including a complete reroofing in 1990, and significant work in 1998-2000 that involved reconfiguring the second and third levels and legalizing a basement unit. While there have been various maintenance and service requests logged through 311 calls, these primarily relate to street-related issues rather than building conditions. The property has undergone several proposed unit consolidation projects, with plans to merge five existing units into fewer units, though these appear to have been appropriately closed without implementation. A routine housing inspection in 2000 showed no issues, and there have been no significant building complaints recorded in recent years. The most recent administrative interaction involved a rent board fee adjustment in February 2024, which was resolved properly.

Risk rating

How 2455 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
48th percentile

Out of 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 501 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 age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 51.6%
Moderate concern 26.8%
Severe concern 21.6%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
