Initial analysis

The 2-story multi-family residential building at 2225 Pine Street in Lower Pacific Heights, owned by Pine West LLC, contains 13 units and was constructed in 1964. The property has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over its history, with the most pressing concerns centering around water management. There are active violations from 2007 regarding roof water discharge onto public sidewalks, and recent reports from 2024 and 2023 indicate continuing plumbing issues, including rusty water leaks in the garage ceiling. The building underwent multiple improvements in the early 2000s, including a kitchen and bathroom remodel in unit #109. However, in 2004, multiple fire and safety violations were documented, including issues with fire escape ladders, smoke detection systems, fire proofing materials, and ventilation in the garbage room, though these were marked as "Not active" following a routine inspection. A concerning set of fire safety issues was noted in late 2017 regarding fire extinguishers, though records indicate these were corrected by early 2018. The building's maintenance history includes roofing work completed in 1990 and repairs following fire damage in 1992, along with various routine maintenance activities.

Recent service requests through 311 calls have primarily focused on external issues, including reports of graffiti (2023), a missing side sewer vent cover (2020), pavement defects (2019), and abandoned vehicles (2022). The building's history includes three fire-related incidents, though none resulted in civilian injuries, and an electrical upgrade in 2004 that involved installing new lighting and receptacles. While some historical violations have been resolved, including a 2024 plumbing issue that was accepted for review, the ongoing water management challenges and periodic maintenance issues suggest that infrastructure upkeep remains a critical area of focus for this property.

Risk rating

How 2225 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
