AI summary

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 1902 Bush Street in Lower Pacific Heights, owned by Swain-beier Dona Revocable, was constructed in 1900 and has undergone various maintenance and repair work over the years. Notable historical improvements include a heating system upgrade in 2008, stair repairs in 1999 (completed), reroofing in 1993, and bathroom fixture replacements in 1992. A significant cluster of building violations occurred in January 2001, including security issues, fire safety concerns (egress obstructions), sanitation problems, and general maintenance violations, all of which were abated by March 2001. The building has experienced multiple fire department responses, primarily for false alarms and smoke detector activations, with one recorded carbon monoxide incident and a contained cooking fire, though fortunately none resulted in civilian injuries.

Recent activity around the property has been primarily external, with multiple 311 calls in 2024 regarding street maintenance, tree overgrowth, and parking issues. The building's maintenance pattern shows regular attention to infrastructure, with sidewalk repairs documented in 1999 and 2001, though some complaints from 1998-1999 noted various interior issues including window problems, security concerns, and drainage issues. The property's systems have been updated periodically, with a notable upgrade to the forced air heating system in 2008. The building's historical records suggest that while there have been periods of maintenance issues and violations, particularly in the late 1990s and early 2000s, these appear to have been addressed through appropriate remediation. Recent records show no active building violations, though the property has generated various non-building related service requests in the neighborhood, indicating ongoing interaction with city services for exterior maintenance and public infrastructure concerns.

Risk rating

How 1902 Bush 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

Out of 670 buildings in this neighborhood, 315 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.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 55.7%
Moderate concern 20.4%
Severe concern 23.9%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
