Initial analysis

The two-unit multi-family residential building at 278-280 Missouri Street in Potrero Hill, owned by the Nolte Family Trust, is a 2-story flats and duplex structure built in 1900. The property has undergone various significant improvements over the years, with the most recent major renovation being the installation of solar panels in 2012, which included two separate systems of 3.3kW and 1.32kW respectively. Earlier maintenance included deck and siding repairs in 2010, solarium replacement in 2003, and several kitchen upgrades including cabinet replacement and appliance installation in 2001. Structural improvements were made in 1986 with the replacement of the brick foundation in the basement and back porch repairs, while additional updates included a back porch and stairs electrical remodel in 2003.

Recent incidents near the property, while not directly related to the building's condition, have included several parking enforcement actions for driveway blocking (most recently in June 2024), two instances of human/animal waste on the street (2022 and 2020), and a sidewalk inspection that remains open as of December 2021 due to a reported collapse. The property has had some maintenance issues addressed through 311 calls, including defaced signage (2023) and an abandoned furniture case (2025). While the building has a history of various renovations and improvements, the most concerning recent infrastructure issue appears to be the collapsed sidewalk reported in 2021, which warrants attention.

Risk rating

How 278-280 Missouri 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 726 buildings in this neighborhood, 254 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.

Property class: multi-family flat

2–4 unit flats (class F) are a common SF building type with their own maintenance and complaint patterns.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 72.9%
Moderate concern 21.0%
Severe concern 6.1%
