Initial analysis

The six-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 3053 Pine Street in Lower Pacific Heights, owned by the George & Norma Rescalvo Rev Trust, has undergone significant recent electrical infrastructure upgrades in early 2024, including a 400-amp electrical service upgrade and the relocation of electrical panels from closets to hallways across all units. These improvements followed earlier electrical maintenance work in late 2023 involving the relocation and replacement of 60-amp subpanels for all six units. The building's maintenance history shows periodic attention to basic infrastructure, with roofing work documented in 2013 costing $7,900, while a prior roofing permit from 1993 has expired.

The property has experienced several routine inspections and fire safety compliance issues in the past, particularly notable in 2004 and 2011, when violations related to fire extinguisher maintenance were recorded and subsequently abated. These inspections also addressed concerns about emergency exits and smoke detectors within the units. Earlier building history includes a water leakage issue from windows reported in 1996. More recent activity primarily consists of parking-related enforcement actions, with multiple citations issued between 2019 and 2024 for vehicles blocking driveways, suggesting ongoing challenges with parking enforcement in the area.

Risk rating

How 3053 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

Out of 670 buildings in this neighborhood, 47 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

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

Owner's portfolio size

Number of SF parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios have distinct risk patterns.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 72.4%
Moderate concern 13.0%
Severe concern 14.6%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
