Initial analysis

The property at 2136-2140 Steiner Street is a three-story multi-family residential building located in Pacific Heights, consisting of two units and built in 1901, currently owned by the Lisa M Edwards Revocable Trust. The duplex has undergone several significant renovations and maintenance work over the years, with the most recent being a house trap replacement completed in October 2024. In 2024, there were multiple complaints regarding parking violations, including sidewalk parking and driveway blocking, though most were either unable to be validated or officers could not locate the vehicles. An elevator malfunction was reported in early 2024, but the investigation found no merit to the complaint. The building's history shows substantial improvements in 2011, including bathroom remodeling with new plumbing and electrical systems, and compliance with a physical inspection report. Earlier renovations from 2006-2009 included penthouse modifications, electrical system upgrades, and various plumbing improvements, though some permits from this period expired without completion. A complaint was filed in June 2006 regarding an unpermitted dormer installation at the penthouse level, though it was quickly abated. The property has undergone a condo conversion process, with planning records showing approval for conversion from both Maria Matsu and as "None fNone," indicating some ambiguity in the developer information.

Risk rating

How 2136-2140 Steiner 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
77th percentile

Out of 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 221 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.

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

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 78.5%
Moderate concern 13.6%
Severe concern 8.0%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
