Initial analysis

The three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 2530-2532 California Street in Pacific Heights, owned by Corrine Kiyomi Nagata, has undergone several significant improvements since its construction in 1900. The property has received consistent maintenance attention, including a comprehensive window replacement project in 2019 costing $24,000, which installed 13 double-hung wood windows and 2 wood casement windows at the front, along with 8 non-visible vinyl windows. More recent improvements include a complete reroofing project completed in 2022 at a cost of $11,000. The building underwent substantial safety improvements in 2015, including the installation of 1-hour rated Aluflam windows and modifications to the sprinkler system requirements, along with the replacement and addition of various windows, doors, and skylights.

The building's history reveals a cluster of violations in November 2002 related to safety requirements, including smoke detector installation in the lobby and stairs, exterior door self-closing devices, and gas utility shutoff tools, along with plumbing and electrical issues - all of which were successfully abated by January 2003. A troubling recent complaint was filed in March 2024, citing safety concerns and reports of the building attracting homeless individuals, though this case was marked as not active. A documented smoke detector malfunction incident was recorded, but no civilian injuries were reported. The property has generated multiple 311 calls in 2024, primarily related to garbage and debris issues, and parking enforcement matters, though recent inspections and cleanliness issues appear to have been addressed. Various street space permits were issued between late 2014 and 2015, indicating use of public space for building-related activities.

Risk rating

How 2530-2532 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
41th percentile

Out of 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 568 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.

DBI tenant complaints (past 7 years)

Formal complaints tenants filed with DBI about this building over 7 years.

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 61.0%
Moderate concern 32.7%
Severe concern 6.3%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
