Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1930-1932 California Street in Pacific Heights, owned by Kurian Signe & George, has undergone several significant improvements since its construction in 1948. Most recently, in November 2023, there was a completed stucco replacement project on the front of the building costing $15,000. During this project, there was one complaint filed regarding scaffolding blocking access for trash receptacles and dust concerns, though this was abated within three days. In 2012, the building underwent substantial renovations including entry area enclosure, garage door replacement, bedroom modifications, rear deck improvements, and kitchen remodeling, totaling $150,000. The property has seen consistent maintenance and upgrades, with major plumbing work in 2008 including sewer lateral installation, bathroom renovations, and boiler work. Multiple electrical improvements were completed in 2008-2012, including complete building remodeling and garden lighting installation.

The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to infrastructure, including reroofing in 2009, landscaping improvements in 2008, and various system upgrades such as furnace replacement (2008) and bathroom remodels (2008). While there have been several parking enforcement calls regarding driveway blocking between 2018-2024, these are separate from the building's condition and management. The most recent building permit records show ongoing maintenance and improvements, with the most notable recent work being the 2023 stucco project, which received proper permitting and approval. The property has generally maintained compliance with building codes and regulations, with issues being promptly addressed when raised through complaints or service requests.

Risk rating

How 1930-1932 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.
