Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1906-1908 Steiner Street in Lower Pacific Heights has undergone significant recent improvements, with comprehensive bathroom and kitchen remodels completed in both units during 2023-2024. The most recent renovations, completed in July 2024, involved substantial updates to both units' bathrooms and kitchens, including plumbing work, electrical rewiring, and installation of new fixtures and lighting at a total cost of approximately $85,000. This flurry of improvements comes after the building received various maintenance updates in the mid-1990s, including foundation reinforcement, plaster replacement, dry rot repairs, and garage modifications.

The property has a history of moisture-related issues, with a 2012 complaint regarding potential mold in a bedroom, though this complaint is listed as not being active. While there have been multiple fire alarm activations recorded (primarily false alarms or detector malfunctions) between 2006-2017, including carbon monoxide detector activations, there have been no civilian injuries reported in any of these incidents. Recent 311 calls (2024) have primarily concerned external maintenance issues such as garbage and debris on the street, parking violations, and one instance of graffiti on a fire hydrant, all of which have been addressed by city services. The building's recent substantial renovations, particularly the comprehensive updates to essential systems such as plumbing and electrical work, suggest a proactive approach to maintenance and modernization under current ownership by Bahman Sabbaghian.

Risk rating

How 1906-1908 Steiner 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
92th percentile

Out of 670 buildings in this neighborhood, 54 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.

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.

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 79.9%
Moderate concern 11.8%
Severe concern 8.3%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
