Initial analysis

The two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 2215 Divisadero Street in Pacific Heights, owned by the Marian Barlow Brown Revocable Trust, was constructed in 1940 and has undergone several significant improvements over the years. The most recent and substantial renovation took place in 2023, when comprehensive upgrades were made to the second-floor unit, including a new bathroom, skylights, lighting improvements, and a walk-in closet, along with associated plumbing and electrical work totaling approximately $60,000. This followed previous maintenance work including a re-roofing project in 2019 ($5,000). The building's maintenance history shows consistent upkeep, with past roofing work documented in 1993 and a use classification as flats established in 1982.

While the building has experienced several fire-related incidents, all have been minor, primarily involving unintentional alarm activations and system malfunctions, with no civilian injuries reported. A notable complaint was filed in 1995 regarding unauthorized remodeling work, though this was promptly addressed by Housing Inspection Services. The property has generated multiple 311 calls in recent years, primarily related to street cleaning issues and graffiti, though these are mostly external to the building itself. Recent activity has included three reported instances of illegal postings in November 2024, an open litter receptacle maintenance request from October 2024, and various street cleaning matters.

Risk rating

How 2215 Divisadero 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 963 buildings in this neighborhood, 58 are predicted to be safer.
