Initial analysis

The Clark Family Trust owns this two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building located at 2583-2587 California Street in Lower Pacific Heights, which was constructed in 1916. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past three decades, with the most recent major updates occurring between 2008-2011, including a complete reroofing in 2008 ($16,000), substantial electrical upgrades in 2010 (including new 200-amp services, 2-phase feeder, and five meters), and kitchen renovations in Unit #1 (new cabinets, tile, appliances, and electrical work) completed in 2010. The building's infrastructure has been maintained with proper attention to safety systems, as demonstrated by the successful resolution of multiple housing code violations in 2002, which included improvements to smoke detection, security features, and fire safety equipment - all of which were abated by August 2002. A routine safety inspection was conducted in 2013, with no active violations reported.

More recent history shows ongoing maintenance attention, though there are current issues with the exterior environment, including tree root damage to the sidewalk (reported in June 2022) and a previously blocked sidewalk situation involving a shrub (resolved in March 2022). The building's systems have been regularly updated to meet modern standards, including the installation of new gas lines in 2011 and comprehensive electrical upgrades in 2010. Historical records show compliance with building codes, with earlier permits from 1986 indicating efforts to bring the property into code at that time, and renovation work from 1994 focusing on kitchen improvements. The property's maintenance record suggests regular attention to building systems, though prospective tenants should be aware of the recent sidewalk-related issues mentioned in 2022.

Risk rating

How 2583-2587 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
42th percentile

Out of 670 buildings in this neighborhood, 389 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

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 64.2%
Moderate concern 23.1%
Severe concern 12.7%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
