Initial analysis

The property at 3017 Washington Street in Pacific Heights is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1908 and currently owned by Ehrlich Living Trust. The building has undergone significant recent renovations, with major improvements including a primary bathroom remodel completed in 2021 costing $42,300, a main floor kitchen remodel in 2020 costing $29,000, and a sewer line replacement in 2021. The building's systems have been modernized with the installation of a new 75-gallon water heater in February 2024, a two-zone mini-split heat pump system in early 2022, and various electrical upgrades including the installation of a 200-amp meter panel and three sub-panels.

The property has a history of completed maintenance and improvements, including a reroofing project in 2016, extensive third-floor remodeling in 2011, and multiple plumbing and electrical upgrades. Notable infrastructure upgrades include the replacement of handrails, porch modifications, and various room reconfigurations throughout the building's history. The building has experienced some plumbing issues in the past, with two sewage backup incidents reported in 2016, though these were resolved by the PUC Sewer Operations. Recent 311 calls primarily relate to external issues such as parking enforcement and sidewalk concerns, rather than building-specific problems. The most recent construction-related complaint was filed in January 2025, indicating ongoing property maintenance activity.

Risk rating

How 3017 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
98th percentile

Out of 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 19 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.

Building age

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

Notices of Violation, owner's portfolio

DBI NOVs across all buildings this owner is registered on — a signal of systemic maintenance issues across the portfolio.

Director's hearings, owner's portfolio

Escalated DBI enforcement actions across all of this owner's buildings.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 91.6%
Moderate concern 6.4%
Severe concern 1.9%
