Initial analysis

The Ramiah Rusch Family Trust property at 1825-1829 Laguna Street is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building from 1900 located in Lower Pacific Heights. The property has undergone significant renovations and improvements over the past several years, with the most substantial work occurring between 2021-2022. This included a major interior remodel (kitchen, bathrooms, floors, lighting) completed in late 2021, along with the installation of a new security gate with deadbolt and mailbox. The building underwent essential maintenance in 2021 with the replacement of rotted siding on the south wall. Major systems updates were performed in 2021-2022, including a complete electrical system rewiring, plumbing renovations (including kitchen and bathroom work, new radiant heating system), and bathroom remodels.

The building experienced a routine safety inspection in January 2016 that identified several violations, including the need for fire extinguishers, self-closing doors, and carbon monoxide detectors, among other requirements. These violations were all addressed and abated by August 2016. Historical records show regular maintenance including multiple water heater replacements (most recently in 2016) and various plumbing and electrical upgrades throughout the years. More recently, there have been several parking-related complaints in 2024 (primarily regarding sidewalk parking violations), though these are external issues not directly related to the building's condition or safety. A false fire alarm incident was recorded, but no civilian injuries were reported. The property appears to be well-maintained based on the frequency and scope of recent improvements and the resolution of past violations.

Risk rating

How 1825-1829 Laguna 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
66th percentile

Out of 670 buildings in this neighborhood, 228 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.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Final warnings, owner's portfolio

Final warnings issued across all buildings this owner is registered on.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 80.2%
Moderate concern 16.7%
Severe concern 3.1%
