Initial analysis

The 4-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 2447 Washington Street in Pacific Heights, owned by the William S Eddelman 1995 Trust, was constructed in 1888. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and repair projects over the past decades, including a complete re-roofing in 1989, termite damage repairs in 1992, deck support beam replacement in 2014, and stairway underpinning work in 2017. Recent improvements include a sewer lateral replacement and street space repairs completed in 2018, and the replacement of heating units in unit #4 in 2022. The building has experienced periodic heating system issues, with complaints regarding inadequate heat in 2022, though this was subsequently addressed. A significant concern emerged in October 2023 with a complaint about unauthorized construction work and potential structural concerns, though this was noted as "Not Active" within two weeks of filing. Historical violations from 2013-2014 involved repairs to wooden stairs and heating system compliance, which were ultimately resolved.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to structural and safety issues, with multiple plumbing and general maintenance permits obtained over the years. Recent 311 call records primarily document external matters such as parking violations and sidewalk cleaning requests, with no reported fire incidents except for one false alarm. The property has undergone regular inspections, including routine safety inspections in 2000 and 2013, and has generally addressed identified issues, though there appear to be occasional lapses in heating system maintenance and other building systems requiring attention.

Risk rating

How 2447 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, 347 are predicted to be safer.
