Initial analysis

The 15-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 2345 Washington Street in Pacific Heights, owned by Mark Kohi & Shahin Khan, is a 1926 apartment structure that has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the years. Most recently, as of January 2025, there is an open violation regarding sleeping area requirements, which follows a pattern of fire safety concerns, including multiple violations in December 2019 for inadequate building owner contact posting and emergency lighting. The building has had recurring water-related issues, with documented complaints of leaks and mold in 2012 (between apartments 305 and 205) and 2009 (in closets and living areas), suggesting persistent plumbing challenges. A notable cluster of fire safety violations occurred in 2003, including issues with fire escape maintenance, fire extinguisher requirements, and fire proofing materials, all of which were abated by July 2003. The building's history shows attention to systems maintenance, with a completed boiler installation permit in 2014 and a reroofing project from 1994, though some earlier permits are now expired.

Recent inspection activity has been influenced by external factors, such as the 2020 building inspection response limitations due to COVID-19, while the building has experienced typical urban challenges including parking violations and sidewalk maintenance issues. The property has had two recent fire-related incidents involving alarm system malfunctions (735) and an unintentional smoke detector activation (743), though neither involved actual fires or injuries. The building's management appears to have addressed most historical violations, with only the recent sleeping area requirements violation remaining open as of 2025. The presence of multiple parking enforcement calls and sidewalk maintenance issues suggests ongoing logistical challenges typical of the neighborhood, though these are not directly related to building safety or habitability.

Risk rating

How 2345 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, 809 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.

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 41.6%
Moderate concern 35.8%
Severe concern 22.6%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
