AI summary

The three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 2275 California Street, owned by the Padgett-McKinney Family Trust, dates back to 1900 and has undergone several significant maintenance and repair projects over the years. Most notably, the building has experienced recurring sewer issues, with multiple sewage backup incidents reported between 2021-2024, including a recent discharge from a side sewer vent in November 2024 that required fieldwork completion by PUC Sewer Operations. The building's infrastructure has been actively maintained, with a $35,000 reroofing project completed in 2020 and the installation of new furnaces in 2016. Historical records show various improvements including kitchen cabinet replacement, bathroom remodeling, and wall repairs undertaken in 1983, as well as chimney work, termite repairs, and multiple roofing projects in the late 20th century.

The property has undergone several routine safety inspections by Housing Inspection Services, with the most recent occurring in 2013, and has experienced two notable combustible materials complaints in 2016 and 2009. A concerning safety issue was documented in 1999 regarding a rusted chimney posing a danger to neighbors, though this appears to have been resolved. The building's recent history shows regular maintenance and prompt response to issues, particularly regarding the recurring sewer problems, though the frequency of these incidents suggests ongoing infrastructure challenges. The property has also had occasional parking enforcement issues reported through 311 calls, though these are not directly related to building safety or maintenance.

Risk rating

How 2275 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
60th percentile

Out of 670 buildings in this neighborhood, 268 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 size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Owner's portfolio size

Number of SF parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios have distinct risk patterns.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 65.5%
Moderate concern 22.8%
Severe concern 11.7%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
