Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 260 Pennsylvania Avenue in Potrero Hill, owned by Lee Family Trust B, has a mixed history since its construction in 1965. The property experienced a significant fire incident in 1995, though records of these repairs are no longer available. More recently, there have been recurring issues with fire safety systems, including violation citations in 2024 for an alarm system that requires maintenance, along with prior violations in 2023 (both alarm and sprinkler systems) and 2022 (fire extinguishers). The building's emergency response history shows several service calls, including elevator rescues and responses to smoke odors and a gas leak, but fortunately, none resulted in civilian injuries.

The property underwent some structural work in 2000 with foundation underpinning related to adjacent construction, and previous improvements included reroofing in 1991 and the legalization of ground floor modifications in 1988. Recent municipal activity around the building has included multiple encampment reports in December 2024, all of which were resolved by Hsoc, and two open service requests from the Municipal Transportation Agency in late 2024. The building's current fire safety status appears to require attention, with an open violation for the alarm system maintenance dated July 2024, and its historical pattern suggests ongoing monitoring of fire safety systems may be necessary.

Risk rating

How 260 Pennsylvania Ave'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.
