Initial analysis

The three-story, multi-family residential building at 2 Excelsior Ave, located in the Excelsior neighborhood, was built in 1907 and contains 5 units plus ground-floor commercial space (4501 Mission St). The property, owned by Vincent C Marcellini Revoc, has undergone several significant improvements in recent years, most notably a recent ADA-compliant glass door installation completed in December 2023 (cost: $6,500) and ongoing electrical work in early 2024 (cost: not specified). The building has a history of meeting required safety improvements, including multiple fire alarm system corrections, with the most recent fire alarm complaint being resolved in December 2020.

The property has experienced some notable incidents requiring repairs and modifications, including a storefront repair in 2014 after vehicle damage (cost: $5,000) and a gas meter relocation in 2018. Historical violations were recorded in 2000-2004 regarding safety and compliance issues, including fire safety concerns and gas meter requirements, though all these violations were abated by early 2001. The building has an active ground-floor retail liquor store (Excelsior Liquor) with an ABC Type 21 license, and recent planning records indicate various commercial use approvals. A pattern of recent 311 calls in January 2025 regarding garbage and debris issues suggests ongoing neighborhood maintenance challenges, though these are street-level concerns rather than building-specific issues.

Risk rating

How 2 Excelsior 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
31th percentile

Out of 337 buildings in this neighborhood, 233 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Neighborhood location

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

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 51.5%
Moderate concern 16.8%
Severe concern 31.7%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
