Initial analysis

The three-unit, 1914 multi-family residential building at 54-58 Auburn St in Nob Hill, owned by Santiago Lopez, has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the past few years. Most notably, in 2019, a $36,000 kitchen and bathroom remodeling project was completed on the third floor, along with repairs to address dry rot on emergency stairs, which had previously been cited in a 2016 complaint. The building underwent a roof replacement in 1992. Multiple building violations were recorded in 2000 related to fire safety and other building requirements, including issues with fire extinguishers, smoke enclosure door closers, and self-closing exterior doors; however, all these violations were abated by December 2008.

The building's recent history shows consistent maintenance attention, with the most recent significant work being street space permits issued in 2020. There was one complaint in 2019 regarding unpermitted construction, which was marked as not active. The property has been the subject of multiple 311 calls in recent years, primarily concerning parking issues and sidewalk cleaning, with several calls related to a specific vehicle (white Audi) parking on the sidewalk in early 2020, resulting in citations. While there have been routine housing inspections in 2000, 2008, and 2016, and various violations recorded over the years, most issues appear to have been addressed promptly, with no active violations on record as of now. The building had documented issues with emergency stairs and various safety systems in the past, but recent renovations and repairs suggest active management of the property's maintenance needs.

Risk rating

How 54-58 Auburn 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 1125 buildings in this neighborhood, 495 are predicted to be safer.
