Initial analysis

The property at 2428-2430 Bush Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in Lower Pacific Heights, built in 1900. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, including significant work in 2019 when exterior stairs were repaired, bathroom exhaust fans were installed, and fixtures were updated for $4,000. Earlier renovations included a complete reroofing in 2012 ($11,000), and a series of heating system upgrades in 2007-2009 involving furnace replacements and gas line installations. Of particular concern are two active building violations filed in August 2023 regarding lead abatement procedures and weather protection requirements, with these issues remaining unresolved as of September 2023. The building has also experienced paint deterioration, with reports of peeling paint potentially containing lead filed in late August 2023. Historical records include a 1998 complaint about heating issues, which appears to have been resolved by 2009.

Recent activity around the property includes several 311 calls in 2024 regarding various neighborhood maintenance issues, such as a damaged tree (October 2024), garbage and debris (September 2024), and a noise complaint (July 2024). There have been multiple reports of graffiti on and around the property in 2022-2024, with some cases marked as offensive. Street space permits were issued in 2019, though the specific nature of these permits is not detailed in the records. The property's recent history suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding lead paint compliance and weather protection, which were notably documented in multiple violations during 2023.

Risk rating

How 2428-2430 Bush 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, 395 are predicted to be safer.

DBI tenant complaints (past 7 years)

Formal complaints tenants filed with DBI about this building over 7 years.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Moderate concern 16.9%
Severe concern 4.4%
