Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family residential building at 2510 Bush Street in Lower Pacific Heights is a two-unit structure built in 1904, currently owned by the Alan S Bamberger Revocable Trust. The property has undergone several significant structural and safety improvements in recent years, most notably a $25,000 repair to the rear retaining wall in 2023 following a January 2023 violation noting potential collapse hazards. This retaining wall issue appeared to be linked to construction activities by an adjacent property owner and was finally addressed through the installation of a new drilled pier retaining wall. The building has seen extensive infrastructure upgrades, including a 2017 voluntary foundation replacement with new concrete, strengthening of wood beams, and installation of solar panels. Other improvements include chimney and flue modifications in 2018, a rear addition of bedroom and bathroom in 2013, and various interior updates including kitchen and bathroom remodels.

The property has experienced recurring issues with its retaining wall, with previous complaints about instability in 2008, though most building violations have been promptly addressed. Recent maintenance has focused on both structural integrity and modernization, including the installation of U-fer ground systems, GFCI outlets, and various plumbing updates. The building's residential amenities have been enhanced through multiple renovation projects, though some work has been voluntarily performed, indicating proactive maintenance by the current ownership. While there have been several 311 calls related to parking and street maintenance issues near the property, these are typical urban concerns and not directly related to the building's condition or management. A fire alarm system complaint filed in October 2021 was determined to have no merit by May 2022.

Risk rating

How 2510 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
37th percentile

Out of 670 buildings in this neighborhood, 422 are predicted to be safer.
