Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2860 Pine Street in Lower Pacific Heights, owned by Lawrence Mock and Chris Ahn F, is a two-story flats and duplex structure dating back to 1900. The building's documented permit history shows some significant maintenance work, including a $10,000 dry rot repair project completed in 2002 that addressed decay issues at the east wall and stairs, as well as deteriorated footings and piers. A notable plumbing repair for the sewer system was completed in 2008. An attempted expansion of the property, proposing a two-floor extension to the rear with an estimated cost of $110,000, was filed in 2001 but ultimately cancelled.

The most striking recent history pertains to a series of ten parking enforcement calls between September and January 2025, all concerning driveway blocking issues. While most of these cases required officer response and resulted in enforcement actions (with six resulting in citations and four ending with officers unable to locate the reported violations), they represent a notable pattern of parking-related incidents in the immediate vicinity of the property. The concentration of these incidents over a relatively short period (approximately four months) suggests significant ongoing challenges with parking management in the area.

Risk rating

How 2860 Pine 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

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.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 79.7%
Moderate concern 14.4%
Severe concern 6.0%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
