Initial analysis

This two-unit, single-story multi-family residential building located at 2823 Pine St in Lower Pacific Heights, owned by the Hume Family Trust The, has undergone several significant improvements since its construction in 1900. The most recent major renovations include a comprehensive remodeling project completed in 2014, valued at $30,000, which encompassed updates to the bathroom and kitchen with new fixtures and appliances, bedroom improvements, fireplace area renovation, installation of new bi-fold doors, trim work, and lighting upgrades. Notably, in 2014, the building experienced fire damage to the rear elevation that required repairs, though these were completed using in-kind materials with no structural changes. The property has a documented history of various improvements and maintenance work, including sewer repairs in 2011, multiple electrical upgrades (including extensive lighting and electrical work in 2006), and previous renovations in the 1990s that involved bathroom and closet remodeling as well as the legalization of an unauthorized ground story unit.

The building's most pressing recent issues appear to be related to parking enforcement, with numerous documented cases of driveway blocking between 2022 and 2024, resulting in multiple citations being issued. This recurring parking issue may indicate ongoing challenges with access to the property. While the building has received regular maintenance and improvements over the years, including roof repairs in both 1996 and 2004, and various plumbing and electrical upgrades, the most recent permits and work completed suggest the property has been generally well-maintained through appropriate modernization efforts. The extensive record of parking enforcement calls between 2021 and 2024, with multiple citations issued for driveway blocking and sidewalk parking violations, represents the most significant area of concern from a resident access perspective, though these incidents primarily relate to street and sidewalk issues rather than building safety or maintenance.

Risk rating

How 2823 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
79th percentile

Out of 670 buildings in this neighborhood, 141 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 age

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

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

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

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 84.9%
Moderate concern 11.8%
Severe concern 3.3%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
