Initial analysis

The three-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 2900 Bush St in Lower Pacific Heights, owned by Nancy C Gharib, was constructed in 1900. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the years, including a reroofing project in 1995 and the installation of bottom-level sprinklers in 1987. Most recently, an electrical permit was issued in June 2024 for replacing FPE panels, suggesting ongoing infrastructure upgrades. The building had a notable series of violations in June 2003, involving fire safety and building code compliance issues such as missing handrails, smoke detector requirements, and gas meter instructions, though these were all abated by July 2003.

In recent years, there have been several concerning incidents, particularly in 2020-2021, involving unauthorized modifications and safety concerns. These include complaints about unpermitted construction of a fenced patio with propane appliances, and issues regarding an illegally constructed wood structure at the rear of the building. While many of these complaints are listed as "Not Active," one complaint from January 2021 regarding gas appliance placement remains "Active" as of the latest available data. The building has also undergone routine safety inspections in 1996, 2003, 2009, and 2012, suggesting regular oversight of safety conditions. Recent external issues have been documented, including multiple parking violations regarding blocked driveways throughout 2024, though these do not directly impact building safety or habitability.

Risk rating

How 2900 Bush 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 670 buildings in this neighborhood, 462 are predicted to be safer.
