Initial analysis

The property at 2249-2251 Pine Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in Lower Pacific Heights, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by the Evelyn Kay Elliott 2013 Trust. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, with the most recent significant work being a completed reroofing project in 2019 costing $7,880. Earlier improvements include window and door replacements in 2006 ($21,600), garage repairs following minor vehicle damage in 2004 ($2,500), and lower deck repairs in 2000 ($2,500). The property has undergone several infrastructure enhancements, including the installation of a UL approved marten firebox and flue in 1989, sauna and shower facilities in 1988, replacement of a brick retaining wall with concrete in 1988, and the installation of a garage door opener in 2004.

The building's record shows one notable complaint filed in October 2020 regarding alleged work performed without proper permits in the rear building on the first floor, though this complaint is currently listed as "Not Active" with no recorded abatement. The property's permit history demonstrates a pattern of regular maintenance and upgrading of essential systems, with the most significant investments occurring in the 2000s and recent years focusing on roof maintenance and structural elements. While there have been several expired permits on record, including those for roofing work in 1988 and a roof-related permit from 2002, this is not uncommon for historical properties where work may have been completed under different regulations.

Risk rating

How 2249-2251 Pine 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
59th percentile

Out of 670 buildings in this neighborhood, 275 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.

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.

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 82.4%
Moderate concern 14.1%
Severe concern 3.5%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
