Initial analysis

The property at 2406-2408 California Street in Pacific Heights is a two-story mixed-use building constructed in 1900, currently containing two residential units and a ground-floor commercial space, with the commercial portion operating as Pizzeria Delfina. The building has undergone several significant renovations and improvements over the past 15 years, with the most recent major work occurring in late 2020 when the commercial space underwent a $200,000 interior remodel to modify seating, update bathrooms, and improve storefront features. This renovation included both plumbing and electrical work, with additional improvements being made in early 2021 for kitchen equipment and electrical systems. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, including a reroofing project in 2011, deck replacement in 2008, and various plumbing and electrical upgrades.

The property has experienced some neighborhood impact issues, most notably a noise complaint filed in September 2019 by neighboring residents, alleging early morning construction and operational disturbances from the commercial space. This complaint, while indicating ongoing resident concerns, was marked as "Not Active" in the system. In terms of recent activity, the building has generated multiple 311 calls in the past two years primarily related to street cleaning and waste management issues outside the property, though these are not directly related to the building's condition or operations. The property underwent a significant regulatory review process to expand the restaurant's seating capacity and operating hours, which was approved, along with variances for rear yard expansion. Two fire safety complaints regarding shared spaces were recorded in late 2022, though these were marked as duplicate and deferred, with no associated fire incidents or civilian injuries reported in the records.

Risk rating

How 2406-2408 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

Out of 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 154 are predicted to be safer.
