Initial analysis

This two-unit residential building, located at 2243-2245 Pine Street in Lower Pacific Heights, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1900 and currently owned by the Sobczak Trust. The property has undergone several maintenance and upgrade projects over the years, with the most recent significant work being a 200-amp electrical panel upgrade issued in October 2023. A notable plumbing issue occurred in September 2003 when a broken sewer line was identified, leaking into the neighboring property at 48 Wilmot Street; this violation was promptly abated by October of the same year. Previous maintenance includes work on an existing wood deck in 2002 involving the replacement of dry rotten frame members, and a street space permit issued in 2016.

Recent activity at the property has primarily involved external issues rather than major building concerns. Between 2018 and 2024, there have been several 311 calls related to the immediate vicinity of the building, including reports of garbage and debris, construction noise, abandoned vehicles, and street cleaning needs. Notably, there was a noise complaint in December 2020 and multiple reports of abandoned vehicles in September 2023, though these were resolved without indicating any persistent problems. The building's maintenance history shows attention to necessary repairs and upgrades, with the recent electrical panel upgrade suggesting ongoing investment in infrastructure maintenance.

Risk rating

How 2243-2245 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
76th percentile

Out of 670 buildings in this neighborhood, 161 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.

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

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 86.8%
Moderate concern 9.2%
Severe concern 3.9%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
