Initial analysis

The property at 150 Steiner Street is a two-story, multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, containing four units and featuring commercial space, currently owned by Gordon Pedersen. The building has undergone several significant improvements and faced some maintenance challenges over the past decade. In 2013, the building received a major electrical upgrade with the installation of a new 400-amp single-phase overhead electrical service, demonstrating investment in the building's infrastructure. A notable maintenance issue occurred in late 2015 when a corroded metal support pole was reported, leading to an official Notice of Violation (NOV) on November 2, 2015, which required replacement of the steel column. This violation was ultimately addressed in 2015 with the completion of the replacement work by Rivera Construction, though it remained active for several months and was not officially abated until after a director hearing in March 2016.

The property has been the subject of numerous public service calls in recent months, primarily between August and December 2024, with various maintenance and infrastructure issues reported. These include multiple curb and ramp defects, defaced traffic signs, illegal postings, and graffiti, with several cases still open at the time of this report. Historical maintenance records show attention to public space adjacent to the building, including street space, sidewalk, and curb repairs in 2001, 2004, and 2007, though some earlier permits related to street space repair are no longer active. While the building has received necessary infrastructure upgrades and addressed major violations, the recent pattern of reported issues suggests ongoing challenges with exterior maintenance and urban infrastructure coordination around the property.

Risk rating

How 150 Steiner 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 1027 buildings in this neighborhood, 647 are predicted to be safer.
