Initial analysis

The property at 2646-2648 Great Highway is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1948, currently owned by the Survivors Trust O'neill Family. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the past few decades, with the most recent major renovation being filed in January 2025, which proposes converting open space on the first floor into a 180-square-foot bedroom with bathroom, remodeling a 135-square-foot kitchen on the second floor, updating a 57-square-foot bathroom on the second floor, and replacing existing water heaters with tankless units in the laundry area. The building's systems have seen considerable upgrades, including the replacement of two furnaces and extensive kitchen and bathroom remodels in 2012, which also included electrical work for lighting and ventilation improvements, new circuits, and the installation of recessed lighting throughout the upper level.

Prior improvements include structural reinforcement work in 2012 with the addition of anchor bolts and hold downs, window replacements in 1999, and plumbing updates including sewer line work in 2007. The building has maintained active compliance with housing regulations, with routine inspections such as the one conducted in 2002 showing no active violations. Exterior maintenance records from 2017-2019 show minor issues typical for the neighborhood, including graffiti removal, hazardous materials cleanup (glass), and a missing sewer vent cover, all of which were promptly addressed. The property's documented history shows regular maintenance and upgrading of essential systems, with particular attention paid to safety features, as evidenced by the seismic reinforcement work and ongoing systems modernizations, including the recent proposals for energy-efficient tankless water heater installation.

Risk rating

How 2646-2648 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.
