Initial analysis

The property at 2164-2166 15th Street in San Francisco's Duboce Triangle neighborhood is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Jaye Mikel. The most significant recent development is an ongoing major renovation that began in 2022, involving the conversion of a non-conforming ground floor unit into an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) with associated horizontal additions, voluntary seismic upgrades, and an occupancy change from R-3 (2 units) to R-2 (3 units). This project has an estimated cost of $574,893 and is being managed by John Lum Architecture.

The building has undergone several substantial improvements over the past decade, including a complete facade upgrade in 2010 ($20,000) that involved window replacement, dry rot repairs, and new wood siding, followed by various maintenance and renovation projects such as window replacements (2016), roofing work (2014), and electrical upgrades (2007-2013). The property has also seen necessary infrastructure improvements, including sewer and house trap replacements in 2022, a furnace installation (2017), and various plumbing and electrical upgrades to modernize systems. A notable historical change was the removal and rebuilding of a non-conforming rear stair in 2009 to comply with current building codes, along with the addition of a new roof deck.

Risk rating

How 2164-2166 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
97th percentile

Out of 287 buildings in this neighborhood, 9 are predicted to be safer.

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

Property class: single-family home

Single-family homes (class A) have distinct violation and complaint patterns from multi-family buildings.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 88.4%
Moderate concern 9.0%
Severe concern 2.6%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
