Initial analysis

The property at 2373 California Street is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building located in the Lower Pacific Heights neighborhood, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Gretchen A. Barley (also known as Groot). The building's recorded history shows relatively limited major maintenance activity, with the only significant building permit on file being for a $22,800 reroofing project completed in 2010.

The property and its immediate vicinity have experienced various maintenance and public safety issues over the past 15 years, with the most recent event occurring in October 2024 involving abandoned furniture that was subsequently removed by Recology. There have been several documented cases of street cleaning needs, including instances of general garbage (June 2023) and human or animal waste (January 2019). In 2018, there were reports of illegal parking, which was addressed by responding police officers. The municipal tree maintenance records from 2013 indicate two separate incidents involving overgrown trees that required pruning. The most notable infrastructure concerns involved the sidewalk, with two separate reports in February 2009 documenting lifted sidewalk issues, along with a report of a damaged parking meter that same month. While these maintenance and safety issues have been addressed through various city departments, they represent the primary documented interactions between the property and municipal services over this period.

Risk rating

How 2373 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 670 buildings in this neighborhood, 415 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.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

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.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 62.0%
Moderate concern 28.9%
Severe concern 9.1%
