Initial analysis

The property at 2584-2586 California Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in Pacific Heights, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Positive View Lvg Tr. The building underwent significant renovations between 2009-2010, including comprehensive plumbing updates with new systems for kitchens and bathrooms, electrical system upgrades with new fixtures and circuits, and various infrastructure improvements including radiant heating installation and garage remodel. A notable incident occurred in March 2010 when multiple building violations were filed regarding unsafe excavation work at the northeast corner of the property, involving deep trenching without proper shoring, though these violations were abated by July 2010.

More recent building activity includes several street space permits between 2010-2019, a substantial exterior renovation in 2016 involving siding repair and painting (costing $25,000), and more recent maintenance work in late 2019. The building's recent history shows normal maintenance activity, with two minor complaints in 2019 related to noise and flooding, both of which were resolved. The property has undergone significant exterior improvements as evidenced by planning records showing a project to remove aluminum siding and replace it with redwood, along with roof replacement, though this appears to be in an "Open" status as of the latest update.

Risk rating

How 2584-2586 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
81th percentile

Out of 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 183 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.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.

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 77.0%
Moderate concern 15.5%
Severe concern 7.4%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
