Initial analysis

The property at 3333 California Street is a four-story, 15+ unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1956, owned by Laurel Heights Partners LLC. The building has experienced significant recent attention due to proposed large-scale redevelopment plans, which include demolishing the existing annex and surface parking lots, converting the main office building into residential use, and constructing 13 new buildings with a mix of residential and retail spaces. The ambitious project aims to create approximately 744 new dwelling units, retail space, and a childcare facility, along with substantial underground parking improvements. This project has undergone various review processes and has generated considerable planning documentation, with some plans including height additions and new building configurations.

The building's recent history includes several 311 calls related to public works and maintenance issues, particularly in 2023, though most of these were resolved or transferred to appropriate agencies. There have been multiple street space permits issued between 2004 and 2016, along with two cancelled COVID-19 testing facility permits in December 2020, which were valued at $450,000 collectively. A fire alarm systems inspection in 2017 was completed with conditions corrected. The property has also seen some urban challenges, with recent encampment reports and graffiti incidents in 2022-2024, though these are primarily related to the surrounding area rather than the building itself.

Risk rating

How 3333 California 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
84th percentile

Out of 272 buildings in this neighborhood, 44 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 size

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

Building age

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

Property class (A15)

The assessor's property-class code, which correlates with building type and the violation rates the model expects.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 72.0%
Moderate concern 26.8%
Severe concern 1.1%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
