Initial analysis

The property at 2314 California St in Pacific Heights is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1970, currently owned by Matsuoka Revocable Living T. The building has undergone several significant improvements in recent years, with the most notable being a comprehensive electrical panel upgrade project completed between 2020 and 2021 that involved relocating and replacing panels in Apartments 1, 2, and 4, as well as panels in the garage. Prior to this, in 2007, the building received an upgrade to its windows with the installation of 12 energy-efficient vinyl windows. The building has a documented history of violations from late 2003, primarily related to fire safety issues and damaged ceilings, though these violations were all abated by September 2009.

Earlier complaints from 1998-1999 indicated concerns about water leaks, lighting issues, and smoke alarms, while the 1998 complaint raised concerns about potentially improper drywall work and asbestos exposure. A routine housing inspection in 2011 suggests no ongoing violations. More recently, the property has experienced typical urban maintenance issues as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in late 2024, primarily relating to parking enforcement and street cleaning matters, though these are external to the building itself. The most recent building permit activity was in 2007, and there have been no major building violations or complaints recorded in the past 12 years, indicating improved maintenance and compliance with housing regulations.

Risk rating

How 2314 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
84th percentile

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