Initial analysis

109-111 Telegraph Hill Boulevard is a 3-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1960, currently owned by the William J Rutter Revocable Trust. The three-story property has undergone several significant upgrades and maintenance work over the past two decades, with the most recent major improvements occurring in 2019, including the installation of three new furnaces, three tankless water heaters, and a NEMA 14-50 electrical outlet in the garage. The building has received attention to its exterior envelope, with completed re-roofing in 2015 ($51,300) and multiple facade improvements in 2014 involving siding replacement, window upgrades, and weather barrier work ($90,000). There was a brief period of construction-related disputes in 2014, with two building complaints filed regarding alleged unauthorized construction and height violations, though these complaints were subsequently marked as not active.

The property has maintained relatively good safety records, with some fire safety system inspections occurring between 2021-2022. A sprinkler system violation was issued in September 2021 but was subsequently corrected, and there was one false alarm incident recorded. Recent infrastructure maintenance has been robust, with regular upgrades to heating and water systems. The building's planning records indicate consideration for balcony enlargement and deck enclosure modifications, though some proposals were withdrawn or approved. While there have been various municipal service calls in the surrounding area throughout 2024, including tree maintenance and sidewalk issues, these external matters are not directly related to the building's condition or management. The property's maintenance history shows regular upkeep and modernization efforts, particularly in the critical systems of heating, water, and electrical infrastructure.

Risk rating

How 109-111 Telegraph Hill Blvd'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

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.

Owner's portfolio size

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

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 67.9%
Moderate concern 19.1%
Severe concern 13.0%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
