Initial analysis

The property at 2515-2517 San Bruno Ave is a mixed-use building located in the Portola neighborhood, consisting of two residential units above a ground-floor commercial space. Built in 1911, this one-story structure has undergone several significant improvements and maintenance work over the years, with particular attention to safety features. Most notably, in 1998, the building received important safety upgrades including the installation of a kitchen hood fire suppression system, while work from 2019 included repairs to the back stairs. The building's infrastructure has been maintained through various plumbing and electrical upgrades, including sewer and house trap repairs in 2012 and the installation of a 200-amp underground service in 2003.

Recent history (2024-2025) has seen recurring maintenance challenges in the vicinity, with multiple reports of graffiti and street cleaning issues recorded through 311 calls, though these primarily affected external surfaces and the sidewalk rather than the building itself. The commercial space has maintained its operational status, with planning records showing approved continuations of both the restaurant and retail uses at the respective addresses. The property's maintenance history includes attention to both aesthetic and functional elements, such as storefront glass replacement and stucco repair in 2003, and recorded street space permits from 2003 through 2011, suggesting proper utilization of public space. The current ownership is held by the May Ling Hazel Lee Revocable Trust.

Risk rating

How 2515-2517 San Bruno 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.

Neighborhood percentile

Out of 255 buildings in this neighborhood, 120 are predicted to be safer.
