Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family residential building at 1632-1638 Post Street in Lower Pacific Heights, owned by the Ogawa Family Trust, was constructed in 1958 and contains 2 residential units with retail space. The property has undergone several significant improvements in recent years, with completed work in 2019 including a bathroom renovation on the second floor (new shower installation, fixtures), electrical work (bathroom outlet replacement), and HVAC maintenance (furnace replacement). A gas line replacement was also needed in 2009 due to leaks, indicating previous infrastructure concerns.

The building's recent history has been marked by numerous 311 calls throughout 2024-2025, predominantly related to garbage and debris issues in the vicinity, including multiple reports of abandoned furniture and improperly disposed waste on the street. While these external maintenance issues are being addressed through various city agencies, they primarily affect the public space around the building rather than the building itself. The property's fire safety record shows one outside rubbish fire incident in 2010 and a couple of complaints regarding alarm systems (2010 and 2016), though these did not result in any injuries or indicate ongoing safety concerns. A proposed conversion of second-floor office space to residential use in 1999 was ultimately cancelled.

Risk rating

How 1632-1638 Post 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
