Initial analysis

The property at 1550-1552 Church Street is a two-story mixed-use building constructed in 1900, containing five residential units plus commercial space, currently owned by the Mark Richard Pastore 2000 Trust. The building has undergone several significant renovations over the past two decades, with the most recent substantial work being a $29,900 reroofing project permitted in May 2024. In 2021, the property received window upgrades with the installation of 13 energy-efficient aluminum-clad wood windows on the east and north elevations. The ground floor commercial space underwent a major renovation in 2001-2002, including the installation of a hood and duct fire suppression system for restaurant equipment, followed by modifications to the bar area in 2016 that included new plumbing, electrical work, and window replacements. The building's maintenance record shows regular upkeep, though there have been some safety-related concerns in recent years, particularly regarding parking and visibility issues. In 2022-2023, multiple complaints were filed regarding structures blocking views and parking visibility at the intersection, though these were subsequently abated.

The property has experienced three false fire alarm incidents believed to be caused by system malfunctions, though no injuries or actual fires were recorded. Routine housing inspections in 1998-2008 show no significant issues, and while there have been recent complaints about illegal parking in the area, these are typical for urban locations. The commercial space, currently operating as UMA Casa, underwent a change of ownership and received necessary approvals for its continued operation as a full-service restaurant in compliance with local zoning regulations. Planning records indicate one disapproved application in 2015 for a commissary/warehouse use, which is not permissible in this location. The building's infrastructure has been maintained through various permits for plumbing and electrical work as needed, suggesting regular upkeep of both residential and commercial spaces.

Risk rating

How 1550-1552 Church 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 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 977 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.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Owner's portfolio size

Number of SF parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios have distinct risk patterns.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 54.6%
Moderate concern 22.2%
Severe concern 23.3%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
