Initial analysis

The 4-unit, 2-story apartment building at 2436 Bush Street in Lower Pacific Heights, owned by the Viglione Family Trust 1987 and built in 1926, has undergone several significant improvements and maintenance work over the past decades. Most notably, in 2022, a permit was filed to convert a 247 square foot rear accessory structure into an ADU studio, along with rehabilitation of the adjacent trellis and installation of a new tankless water heater - a project that is currently in progress. The building has undergone multiple roofing projects, with completed reroofing work documented in 1990, 1991, 2009, and 2020, demonstrating regular maintenance of this critical building component. Additional infrastructure improvements include a gas line replacement completed in 2011 and foundation safety enhancements in 1998.

The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues that were addressed through routine housing inspections, with the most significant cluster of violations occurring in 2016, including requirements for weatherproofing exterior wood, smoke and carbon monoxide alarm installation, lead hazard notifications, structural maintenance compliance, fire extinguisher provision, and various maintenance items such as stair repairs, light bulb replacements, and plumbing concerns. These violations were all officially abated by August 24, 2016. The building's most recent maintenance history shows attention to infrastructure upkeep, with the 2022 ADU conversion project representing a substantial property improvement. Current external conditions near the property include several recent reports of driveway blocking incidents (February-April 2024) and two instances of graffiti on nearby poles (August-September 2024), though these are external to the building itself. A water leak issue was reported and resolved in October 2024, suggesting continued need for attentive maintenance of building systems.

Risk rating

How 2436 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
67th percentile

Out of 670 buildings in this neighborhood, 221 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.

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 75.4%
Moderate concern 14.2%
Severe concern 10.4%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
