Initial analysis

The property at 2903-2905 Bush St, located in San Francisco's Lower Pacific Heights neighborhood, is a one-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1875, containing two units and currently owned by the Walker Family Revocable Trust. The building underwent significant renovation in 2004, including a vertical and horizontal addition that introduced a new second unit at the lower level and a new garage, with the work valued at $225,000. This project encountered one building complaint filed in September 2006 regarding construction exceeding permitted scope, though this was reportedly abated on the same day. The building's infrastructure received substantial electrical upgrades in 2006, though some permits from that period expired, including one for new wiring, lights, switches, receptacles, and circuits. The property has had two roofing permits issued in September 1996, though both permits expired without noting completion.

The building's exterior environment has faced several ongoing maintenance issues in recent years, particularly regarding tree roots damaging the sidewalk, with multiple complaints filed between 2019 and 2021. A collapsed sidewalk issue from December 2019 remains open as of October 2023. The property has experienced some parking-related incidents, with two driveway blocking cases reported in 2023 and 2018, though enforcement response varied. There have also been several street maintenance issues reported in the vicinity, including general cleaning needs in 2018 and a pavement defect reported in 2010. The most recent building-related activity was a street space permit issued in 2007, though its purpose was not specified beyond "street space permit only."

Risk rating

How 2903-2905 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.
