Initial analysis

The 5-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 26 Prescott Court in Telegraph Hill, owned by Baron C & Fanny S Suen, has undergone several significant renovations and faced some notable incidents over the past few years. Most recently, from 2020-2021, the property experienced comprehensive unit upgrades including kitchen remodels in Units A and B, bathroom renovations, and electrical improvements, with the owners investing substantial amounts in these improvements (approximately $45,000 combined). In 2018, substantial infrastructure work was completed, including an electrical panel upgrade to 200-amp service with four meters and a house trap replacement. The building has a history of addressing maintenance issues, as evidenced by earlier repairs to stairs in 1987 and a complete reroofing project in 1990.

The property has encountered several concerning issues, particularly in 2020, when there were complaints about unpermitted construction (though this violation is no longer active) and a concrete pouring incident that blocked garage access. A fire complaint regarding blocked exits was recorded in 2013 but was promptly resolved within a week. More recently, there have been ongoing concerns about sidewalk accessibility, with multiple reports of blocked sidewalks throughout 2024, primarily related to unlicensed scooters. There were also two sewer-related incidents reported in mid-2024, including a sewage backup discharge from a catch basin and a sewer work request. The building's maintenance record shows regular upkeep and modernization efforts, though the concentration of recent sewer-related issues and sidewalk accessibility concerns reflects some ongoing infrastructure and public space management challenges in the immediate vicinity.

Risk rating

How 26 Prescott Ct'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 684 buildings in this neighborhood, 575 are predicted to be safer.
