Initial analysis

The residential property at 2937-2941 Pine Street is a two-story, three-unit multi-family building located in Lower Pacific Heights, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by John R Solaegui & Allen Ste. The building has undergone numerous significant improvements over the past two decades, with the most recent work including a sewer replacement project underway as of January 2025, and several exterior maintenance projects in 2022 including repairs to rear exit stairs and replacement of exterior siding. Between 2017-2019, substantial interior renovations were completed including bathroom remodeling, window replacements, and a comprehensive kitchen and bathroom remodel with associated electrical upgrades. The building has maintained its compliance with safety standards since addressing various violations in 2004 related to emergency exits, fire safety, and stair maintenance, which were all abated by February 2005. Historical records show earlier improvements including a reroofing project in 2001, and a significant rear cottage remodel in 2009.

The property has experienced recurring issues with street parking, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls regarding blocked driveways between 2021-2024, though these are external to the building itself. A routine housing inspection in 2004 and a 1998 complaint regarding mold and dry rot were both resolved. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep and modernization efforts, including electrical system upgrades, plumbing improvements, and various interior remodeling projects to maintain and improve resident quality of life. The completed work demonstrates ongoing investment in the property's infrastructure, with particular attention to building safety, accessibility, and modern living standards.

Risk rating

How 2937-2941 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.
