Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 2521-2525 Post Street in Lower Pacific Heights was constructed in 1990 and consists of three stories. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and compliance events over its history, with the most notable cluster of issues occurring in May 2004 when multiple violations were documented, including concerns about combustible materials in the garage, balcony structural repairs needed on the south side, and various safety matters such as smoke detector functionality and emergency exiting. These violations were all addressed and abated by July 2004, along with completed repairs to address dryrot at deck edges, which cost $8,000. Additionally, there was a flooding incident on the property in November 2018 that required sewer maintenance, and a parking violation was recorded in June 2021.

The building's early history included several construction-related permits in 1988-1989, including the installation of a Waupaca custom lift and revisions to the approved facade design. During its lifetime, the property has undergone regular inspections, with a routine housing inspection documented in 2000 showing no active violations. Importantly, all identified violations have been resolved, and there have been no recorded building violations or complaints since mid-2004, suggesting stable maintenance since addressing the 2004 issues. The building is classified as a Flats & Duplex structure and is currently owned by Clarence and Dayle L. Fung.

Risk rating

How 2521-2525 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
56th percentile

Out of 670 buildings in this neighborhood, 295 are predicted to be safer.
