Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2-4 Ford Street, located in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1900, currently owned by Luis A Perez-cordero. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the past two decades, with the most recent major work being a comprehensive window replacement project in 2014 that installed 21 new Anderson wood-clad windows throughout the building, with a focus on energy efficiency and bedroom egress compliance. Prior improvements included foundation underpinning in 2003, multiple stair repairs and replacements in 2003, and a new furnace installation in 2008. The building has also seen exterior maintenance work including siding replacement in 2002, with records showing both completed and expired permits for this work.

Recent maintenance and resident experience issues have primarily centered around parking and sidewalk access, with multiple 311 calls regarding illegal parking, blocked driveways, and sidewalk obstructions between 2022 and 2024. The most concerning recent incident occurred in October 2023 when construction equipment temporarily blocked the sidewalk, though this was resolved promptly. The property has also been subject to some routine street cleaning and maintenance issues, including reports of waste and loose garbage in the vicinity, which were all subsequently addressed by city services. Additionally, there was one notable planning record regarding an unauthorized hotel operation in a residential zone, though this was marked as abated.

Risk rating

How 2-4 Ford 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
79th percentile

Out of 1278 buildings in this neighborhood, 268 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.

Building permits, owner's portfolio

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

Neighborhood location

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 85.9%
Moderate concern 9.4%
Severe concern 4.7%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
