Initial analysis

2301-2303 Bush Street is a 4-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, containing 7 units and currently owned by Thomas Verkamp. The property has a concerning history of maintenance and safety issues, particularly regarding a previously unauthorized basement unit that persisted into 2000 despite being declared illegal in 1993. This unit allegedly included inadequate ceiling heights, questionable egress, and improper kitchen and bathroom facilities. The building has also faced ongoing violations related to fire safety and security, including non-compliant smoke detectors and egress obstructions, with the most recent building-related complaints filed in 2021-2022. Recent building maintenance concerns have included peeling paint and weather protection issues, which were addressed in late 2022.

The property has undergone several significant repairs over the years, including a major roofing project in 2006 costing $47,800, basement-related modifications in 2001, and a sewer repair in 2008. Multiple routine inspections have been conducted, revealing various violations that required correction. While there have been several fire-related incidents recorded, including false alarms and one unintentional fire, none resulted in civilian injuries. Recent maintenance requests from 2024 primarily involve graffiti removal and sidewalk defects. The building's history shows a pattern of recurring maintenance and safety compliance issues, with the most significant concerns generally being addressed through permits and violations processes, though some matters remain active as of the most recent records.

Risk rating

How 2301-2303 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, 549 are predicted to be safer.
