Initial analysis

The three-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 2533 15th Street in Corona Heights, owned by the estate of Gerald G Spolter, has a documented history spanning several decades from its 1947 construction to recent years. The building has undergone various modifications and improvements, including a basement sprinkler system upgrade in 1995, interior renovations in 1989, and exterior improvements such as vinyl siding installation in 1987 and eyebrow trim addition in 1988. More recent history shows several street space permits being issued in 2007 and 2016, with a significant complaint filed in March 2016 regarding unauthorized construction work, including foundation jack hammering, installation of a yellow awning without proper permits, and numerous disruption to neighbors including blocked sidewalks and parking spaces.

The property has generated multiple 311 calls between 2015-2021, primarily relating to parking issues, sidewalk cleaning needs, and some neighborhood maintenance concerns. Of particular note was a cluster of complaints in 2016 regarding construction-related disruptions, including blocked parking spaces and abandoned vehicles, though most of these issues were resolved upon inspection. The building's documented permit history shows regular maintenance and improvements over the years, though some permits from the late 1980s are listed as expired, including those for interior refinishing and awning installation. While the property has had its share of maintenance and compliance issues over the years, particularly during the 2016 period, there are no more recent complaints or violations on record, suggesting improved compliance with building and maintenance requirements in recent years.

Risk rating

How 2533 15Th 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
43th percentile

Out of 348 buildings in this neighborhood, 198 are predicted to be safer.
