Initial analysis

The three-story, 15-unit multi-family residential building at 2325 Washington Street in Pacific Heights, owned by the Marilyn Lee Jaffe 2006 Trust, was constructed in 1929 and has undergone several significant improvements over its lifetime. Most notably, in 2016, the building completed a mandated soft-story retrofit costing $100,000, which included the installation of plywood shear walls, metal hardware, and steel moment frames to improve seismic safety. The building has seen substantial maintenance and upgrades in recent years, including comprehensive plumbing improvements with the installation of multiple commercial water heaters between 2009 and 2020. However, the property faced serious health and safety concerns in 2021-2022, when lead paint violations were documented, resulting in official notices and a final warning letter in July 2022, though these issues were officially abated by December 2022.

The building's fire safety history shows multiple carbon monoxide detector activations and alarm malfunctions between 2019 and 2025, with the most recent sleeping area requirement violation issued in January 2025 that remains open. Three significant building complaints were documented regarding paint condition in 2020-2021, though these were resolved. The property has undergone regular routine safety inspections over the years (1997, 2011, 2012) with no major issues reported during those visits. Recent activity around the building has resulted in multiple parking enforcement calls in 2023-2024, primarily related to driveway blocking incidents, though these are not directly related to building conditions or resident safety.

Risk rating

How 2325 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.
