Initial analysis

2913 Bush Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Lower Pacific Heights neighborhood. Owned by Vernon Bernard McLaughlin R, this 1900-built flats/duplex structure has undergone several maintenance and improvement projects over the years, including a complete reroofing in 2003 costing $6,000 and the installation of a garage door opener in the same year. Historical records indicate structural maintenance with repairs to the rear stairs completed in 1992.

The property and its immediate surroundings have experienced various infrastructure and maintenance issues over the past decade, with the most recent being pavement defects reported and resolved in April 2024. A notable incident occurred in June 2011 involving a sewage backup related to a 4-inch vent, which required attention from PUC Sewer Operations. The area has experienced recurring street maintenance needs, evidenced by multiple cleaning requests in 2009 and 2018 for loose garbage, and various resolved issues including illegal postings (February 2023) and persistent waste management concerns such as toters being left out (January 2024). While many of these incidents relate to street-level or public infrastructure rather than the building itself, they do provide context about the immediate environment around 2913 Bush Street.

Risk rating

How 2913 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

Out of 670 buildings in this neighborhood, 147 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.

Building permits, owner's portfolio

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

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 80.8%
Moderate concern 14.6%
Severe concern 4.6%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
