Initial analysis

The three-story residential building at 20-22 Darrell Place in Telegraph Hill, owned by Julia Eve Allstrom, is a two-unit multi-family structure built in 1927. The property has undergone significant changes and faced various maintenance challenges over the past decade. Recent work includes a $25,000 drywall exploratory project initiated in March 2023 to address water intrusion issues across multiple floors and rooms in both units, with additional plumbing work scheduled for late 2024 involving sewer lateral replacement. The building has a documented history of water-related infrastructure challenges, with multiple sewer backup incidents reported between 2018 and 2024, including three separate incidents in 2018 and consecutive issues in 2022-2024.

The property underwent substantial renovations in 2013, including the installation of a new NFPA 13D fire sprinkler system, complete electrical rewiring, and plumbing upgrades involving new water heaters and sinks, though some permits were ultimately cancelled or expired. Prior to these improvements, the building faced violations in 2012 regarding weatherproofing and lead-based paint concerns, which were resolved by late 2012. More recently, in 2023-2024, there have been complaints about unpermitted construction work and debris removal, with current active complaints regarding construction activities filed in January 2025. Planning records indicate approved projects for backwater valve installation and lightwell filling, suggesting ongoing efforts to improve the building's infrastructure and address flooding and water management issues.

Risk rating

How 20-22 Darrell Pl'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.
