Initial analysis

The two-unit, two-story residential building at 2754-2756 Bush Street in Lower Pacific Heights, owned by Patrice Smith, has undergone substantial renovations since early 2022, with total improvements exceeding $200,000. Major work has included foundation upgrades, complete interior remodels of both units (kitchens, bathrooms, and living spaces), mechanical and electrical system overhauls, and window replacements throughout. The most recent improvements, completed in 2023, involved new wood siding installation on all facades and water meter service upgrades. During the renovation period, multiple building complaints were filed by neighbors, including concerns about construction debris, potential safety hazards from unshored trenches, and improper asbestos removal procedures, though these complaints have been marked as not active or abated. The property has also experienced recurring issues with driveway blocking, resulting in multiple parking enforcement citations between 2023 and 2024, as well as one incident of overflowing city garbage cans in early 2024. A recent planning complaint was filed regarding a potentially unauthorized large steel gate frame installation, though this appears to be in currently active status as of October 2023.

Risk rating

How 2754-2756 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
89th percentile

Out of 670 buildings in this neighborhood, 74 are predicted to be safer.

2023
DBI Complaint Dec 12
A few months ago, the contractor open up a deep trench along the tradesman alley, which abuts my property. they installed drain line and water line, and then progress was halted. the trench has been opened for at least 3 month unattended. the attached photos reveal that these trenches are not reinforced or shored. this looks like it will soon begin to undermine the foundation of my house as the unreinforced sides erode during rains.
