Initial analysis

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 2238-2240 15th Street in the Duboce Triangle neighborhood, built in 1902, has undergone significant recent renovations and improvements. Most notably, in 2023, substantial bathroom remodeling work was completed, including the renovation of two full bathrooms and two half bathrooms, with associated plumbing and electrical upgrades totaling approximately $50,000-$100,000. The electrical system is currently being upgraded, with permits issued in early 2024 for a major 400-amp service upgrade. Additional electrical improvements were initiated in late 2023, including the installation of new lighting, receptacles, smoke detectors, and kitchen appliances.

The building's maintenance history reveals persistent concerns with the stair structure and handrails, with active violations dating back to 2006 remaining unresolved. Historical inspection records from 2001-2002 indicate previous issues with stairs, handrails, and light fixtures that were addressed at that time. Recent tenant activity includes a buyout of $87,000 in April 2024 for one unit, with the status of the second unit's buyout remaining undefined. The property has experienced recurring parking enforcement issues, with multiple citations issued in 2024 for vehicles blocking driveways. Street cleaning and graffiti removal requests have also been documented, though these are typical urban maintenance issues not specific to the building's condition. The ongoing renovation work, including the bathroom remodels and electrical upgrades, suggests active property maintenance and modernization efforts by the current ownership.

Risk rating

How 2238-2240 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
86th percentile

Out of 287 buildings in this neighborhood, 40 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 age

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

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Owner's portfolio size

Number of SF parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios have distinct risk patterns.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 79.1%
Moderate concern 15.2%
Severe concern 5.7%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
