Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family residential building at 2081-2083 15th Street, owned by Alice C Loo, has experienced persistent moisture-related issues over recent years. Most notably, there have been three significant water-related complaints from 2022-2024, with the most recent in February 2024 reporting multiple leaks and potential mold symptoms affecting tenants. The building's maintenance history shows ongoing efforts to address structural and safety concerns, including a comprehensive window and door replacement project completed in 2023 ($50,000), and prior attempts to improve living conditions through various permits for interior modifications and repairs. From 2019-2023, there were multiple building violations including issues with window assemblies, exterior shingles, walls/ceilings, and water penetration, though most of these were marked as not active following repairs.

The building's history includes several fire department responses for smoke and carbon monoxide detector activations, though no fires or injuries were reported. While the property has undergone various improvement projects, including electrical work and window replacement, the recurring nature of moisture problems suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. Recent 311 calls from late 2024 primarily relate to external issues such as graffiti and sidewalk concerns, rather than building-specific problems. The property underwent a significant period of scrutiny in the early 2000s, including an investigation of an alleged illegal unit, which was resolved by 2005. Although many historical issues have been addressed, the frequency of recent water-related complaints indicates this remains a recurring concern for the building's residents.

Risk rating

How 2081-2083 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.
