Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2451 Post Street in Lower Pacific Heights, owned by the Leng Family Trust, is a two-story flats and duplex structure constructed in 1900. The property has undergone several significant modifications to ensure compliance with regulations and improve safety features. Notable renovations include the removal of an illegal kitchen from the ground level (completed in 2004) and the conversion of that space into a laundry area, along with the legalization of a bathroom. The electrical infrastructure was substantially upgraded in 2003, with the installation of two new 100-amp service panels for each unit, new lighting and receptacles, and improvements to the laundry room and rear deck areas. Earlier improvements from 2001 included the rebuilding of the rear stairway and laundry room.

The building's recent history shows regular maintenance and compliance with housing regulations, with the most recent building-related activity being a rent board fee and housing inventory request in November 2024. The property has experienced typical urban challenges as evidenced by multiple 311 calls, including reports of abandoned furniture (October 2024), medical waste (2019), and illegal postings (2019). While these incidents occurred in the vicinity of the property, they are not directly related to building conditions. The only recorded fire-related incident was an accidental alarm system activation with no actual fire or injuries involved. The building's maintenance history suggests a proactive approach to addressing both safety requirements and resident comfort, particularly through the 2004 renovations that focused on bathroom and laundry facilities.

Risk rating

How 2451 Post 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
69th percentile

Out of 670 buildings in this neighborhood, 208 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 size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Building age

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

Property class: multi-family flat

2–4 unit flats (class F) are a common SF building type with their own maintenance and complaint patterns.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 70.7%
Moderate concern 17.0%
Severe concern 12.3%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
