AI summary

The property at 2614 California Street is a 5-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building located in Pacific Heights, originally constructed in 1886. The building underwent significant renovations between 2007 and 2010, including substantial electrical and plumbing upgrades across all units, with particular focus on Units 3 and 4 in 2007-2008. Major improvements included the installation of a new garage and driveway, complete electrical rewiring, plumbing updates for all bathrooms and kitchens, and the addition of central heating systems with gas furnaces. The electrical work was extensive, featuring the installation of new 300-amp service, 6 meters, and comprehensive rewiring of units, garage, and common areas, while plumbing improvements included bathroom and kitchen rough-ins throughout the building and a new catch basin in the garage.

More recent activity at the property has been minimal, with the last major building permit work occurring in 2010. The building has undergone routine housing safety inspections in 1997, 2010, and 2013, with no active violations recorded. Several 311 calls in recent years (2018-2024) have primarily concerned parking issues, including multiple reports of driveway blocking, and one incident of a missing side sewer vent cover in 2021, all of which were resolved through normal enforcement processes. A notable historical permit record from the planning department indicates a proposal for removing 1-2 dwelling units and adding a garage, though this appears to have been removed from consideration, with the final permit status showing "Closed - Informational."

Risk rating

How 2614 California 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
76th percentile

Out of 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 231 are predicted to be safer.
