Initial analysis

The property at 3131-3133 Washington Street in Pacific Heights is a 2-story, 5-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by the Helen G Delevois Estate In Trust. The building has undergone several significant safety and maintenance upgrades over the past two decades, with the most recent being a comprehensive fire alarm system replacement and upgrade in 2021 that included the installation of new detectors, strobe sounders, and control units at a cost of $19,800. The building experienced multiple sewer-related issues in 2013, with at least eight documented incidents of sewage backup or flooding, primarily through a 4-inch vent, though these appear to have been resolved through municipal intervention and flushing of the system. Other notable maintenance work includes a roofing project completed in 2006 costing $26,850, dry rot repairs in 2002, and a sewer line replacement permit issued in 2012.

The building underwent a routine safety inspection in 2014 and had several violations documented in 2002 related to building safety and security requirements, including issues with exterior doors, stairs, and gas meter instructions, though all these violations were abated by January 2003. While historical records show some concerns over the years, particularly regarding sewer issues, the most recent fire safety upgrades and the absence of active violations suggest improvements in building maintenance and safety compliance. The property has had minimal recent issues reported through 311 calls, with the most recent being a resolved case from December 2024 regarding glass debris on the street, and a temporary abandoned vehicle case from 2018 that was resolved when the vehicle was no longer present.

Risk rating

How 3131-3133 Washington 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
59th percentile

Out of 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 395 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 73.0%
Moderate concern 14.9%
Severe concern 12.1%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
