Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2320 California Street in Pacific Heights, owned by Sakai Dale Tamotsu, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1900. The property underwent significant maintenance in October 2023 with a completed $31,000 reroofing project that included the installation of new organic base felt, asphalt shingles, and flashings. The building's history includes two concerning safety incidents related to gas and carbon monoxide, though neither resulted in civilian injuries or indicated any ongoing hazards. The property has experienced recurring issues with parking violations in the immediate vicinity, with multiple reports between 2018 and 2024, including illegal parking and driveways being blocked, though enforcement officers were often unable to locate the offending vehicles.

Other recorded incidents primarily relate to street and sidewalk maintenance, with several general cleaning cases documented between 2019 and 2021 involving loose garbage, as well as one instance of hazardous materials (glass) in 2018. There was also a case of a defaced parking sign in 2021 that required repair. The building's maintenance record shows regular attention to infrastructure, with the recent roofing work representing the most substantial improvement in recent years. The property's location and age suggest typical urban challenges, particularly regarding street-level maintenance and parking enforcement, though these issues appear to be promptly addressed through appropriate city agencies.

Risk rating

How 2320 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, 87 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.

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

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

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 84.5%
Moderate concern 9.5%
Severe concern 6.0%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
