Initial analysis

The 4-unit apartment building at 2442 Great Highway, owned by Stora Highway LLC, has undergone significant improvements and modifications since 2021. The property, built in 1974, has seen comprehensive renovations to multiple units, including a substantial $350,000 interior remodel of units #1 and #3 in 2022, followed by bathroom, kitchen, and laundry remodels in other units. Major infrastructure upgrades include a 400-amp underground service upgrade with individual meters for each unit, the addition of fire protection systems, and the installation of two solar PV systems totalling over 5 kW capacity in 2023. Recent works include roof repairs costing over $30,000 in late 2023, the addition of storage enclosures in the garage area (2023), and revisions to the stair skylight removal.

The building has experienced several permit-related complaints in recent months, particularly regarding the installation of windows on the southern side of the building in late 2023, which raised privacy concerns from neighboring properties. Two separate complaints were filed in October 2023 regarding unpermitted work, though these were subsequently resolved with proper permits. The property has also maintained regular inspections, with routine housing inspections on record dating back to 1999. Recent maintenance has included the installation of radiant heating systems (2023) and various plumbing upgrades. A notable tenant buyout occurred in March 2021 for $30,000. While there have been several emergency service calls recorded, none involved civilian injuries or serious incidents. The building's recent history shows significant investment in upgrades and improvements, though some projects have generated neighborhood concerns requiring clarification and resolution through proper permitting processes.

Risk rating

How 2442 Great Hwy'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 207 buildings in this neighborhood, 124 are predicted to be safer.
