Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 1855-1857 Pine Street in Lower Pacific Heights, managed by Sbc Ventures Llc, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1900. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past decade, most notably a complete reroofing project in November 2022 costing $13,000, and window upgrades in 2020 where six aluminum windows were replaced with vinyl on the back wall for $6,000. In 2013, substantial interior work was performed including bathroom remodels (both full and half baths), vinyl siding installation on the side wall, and associated plumbing and electrical updates, with costs totaling over $30,000. The building's maintenance record shows regular attention to basic systems, including heating, with multiple permits for new heaters and furnace installations in 2007, and a termite intervention in 2012.

The property has experienced relatively few issues over its recent history, though there were two fire alarm incidents recorded - one for a system malfunction and another for a carbon monoxide detector activation, both with no injuries reported. A building complaint regarding deteriorated siding was filed in March 2023, though its resolution status is not specified in the records. The surrounding area has generated multiple 311 calls in late 2024, primarily related to street cleaning and parking issues, though these are external to the building itself. The building has successfully passed routine housing inspections in 1999 and 2001, suggesting compliance with basic housing standards during those periods. While no specific safety concerns are evident in the recent history, the age of the building and nature of the improvements suggest regular maintenance and upgrading of essential systems has been performed.

Risk rating

How 1855-1857 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.
