Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2156-2162 15th Street in Duboce Triangle, owned by Frances A Delacruz Trustee, is a 1905 duplex structure that has undergone significant renovations and maintenance over recent years. Most recently, the property received a new roof in 2021 costing $21,000 and underwent sewer replacement work in 2022. A major renovation project in 2009-2010 addressed multiple systems in both units, including complete plumbing updates with new fixtures, electrical system upgrades with 200A service installation, and window replacements, totaling over $54,000. The building had several violations in late 2001 related to safety and security requirements, including issues with stairs, fire extinguishers, and self-closing doors, but all were abated by March 2002.

Recent maintenance has included multiple sidewalk cleaning requests and infrastructure improvements, though there have been some ongoing issues in 2024 with garbage and debris on the property, as well as some construction-related disturbances. A blocked sidewalk issue was reported in October 2024 involving construction equipment, and there have been multiple garbage removal requests and reports of graffiti on the property in recent months. The building's systems have been regularly maintained, with records showing proper permits obtained for major works, including roofing, plumbing, and electrical systems, though there was one complaint in 2009 regarding unpermitted plumbing and mechanical work that was promptly addressed. The property has generally been well-maintained in terms of major systems, though there appear to be ongoing challenges with street maintenance and debris management in the surrounding area.

Risk rating

How 2156-2162 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

Out of 287 buildings in this neighborhood, 20 are predicted to be safer.
