Initial analysis

The property at 2237-2239 Pine Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in Lower Pacific Heights, built in 1900 and currently owned by the Judy Alexis Brown Revocable Trust. The building has undergone several significant changes and faced various challenges in recent years, particularly relating to heating systems. In 2021, multiple housing violations were documented regarding heating issues, electrical outlets, window repairs, and appliance problems, though these were officially abated by September 2023. More recently, concerns about heating were again reported in January 2024 for the kitchen and dining areas, though these complaints were marked as not active by February 2024. The building has also seen considerable updates in 2023-2024, including the installation of gas fireplaces and associated gas lines, with a dedicated power line for a heater installed in February 2024.

The property has a consistent history of street space permits, with multiple permits issued between 2008 and 2014, typically at a nominal cost of $1.00. A notable complaint was filed in November 2024 regarding loud construction work at 2239 Pine Street, which is currently active. Historical records show a structural concern from 1996 regarding a leaning back deck, dry rot, and wall cracks, though these issues were resolved within weeks. The building's maintenance history shows periods of both proactive improvements and reactive responses to various violations, particularly focusing on heating system reliability. Recent street cleaning issues were documented in 2023, but these were successfully resolved.

Risk rating

How 2237-2239 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

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.
