Initial analysis

The three-story, six-unit multi-family residential building at 2901 Washington Street in Pacific Heights, owned by John P Guiral 2018 Revoc LV, has a relatively modest maintenance history for its age since being constructed in 1916. The property underwent significant improvements in 2006-2007, including a $20,000 reroofing project and the installation of a new steam boiler with backflow prevention assembly. A series of violations were documented in May 2003, primarily related to safety concerns including stairs requiring repair, fireproofing issues, and gas meter requirements, though these were all abated by August 2003.

Recent history shows the building has had minimal internal issues, with the last building inspection recorded in 2013. However, there have been multiple recent concerns in the surrounding area, particularly between August and October 2024, including several instances of abandoned garbage and debris on the street, some involving mattresses and electronics. The property experienced a flooding incident on October 8, 2024, which was resolved by PUC - Sewer Operations. The building has had multiple fire department responses recorded, though all appear to be for invalid assist calls with no civilian injuries reported. Recent 311 calls from 2024 also indicate external concerns such as defaced parking signs and a complaint about unsafe Muni operation near the property, along with a resolved case involving blocked driveways.

Risk rating

How 2901 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
38th percentile

Out of 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 597 are predicted to be safer.
