Initial analysis

The two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building at 2142-2144 Bush Street in Lower Pacific Heights, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by the Scott Belser Trust, has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the past decades. Most recently, in 2024, there were fire safety concerns addressed regarding alarm systems (September 2024) and sprinklers (September 2023), with the latter receiving a violation before being corrected. The building has seen substantial structural improvements including reroofing in 2018 ($10,000), a partial brick to concrete foundation replacement in 2016 ($8,000), and geo grouting work in 2015 ($5,000). Between 2007-2008, comprehensive interior remodeling was completed including bathroom and kitchen updates with associated plumbing and electrical work.

The property had a series of violations in 2002 related to safety issues including deck repairs, smoke detector installation, and gas shutoff tool requirements, though these were all resolved by October 2003. The building has undergone routine housing inspections in 1996, 2002, 2010, and most recently in 2016, with one active inspection from 2016 still on record. Recent external maintenance concerns have been documented through 311 calls in 2024 regarding sidewalk impacts from tree roots and multiple reports of street cleanliness issues. While these external matters and routine fire safety violations are worth noting, they appear to be addressed promptly based on available records. The most significant structural improvements in recent years focus on fundamental building systems such as the roof, foundation, and fire safety equipment.

Risk rating

How 2142-2144 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
35th percentile

Out of 670 buildings in this neighborhood, 436 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 57.4%
Moderate concern 23.6%
Severe concern 19.0%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
