Initial analysis

The 52-unit, 7-story apartment building at 600-610 Bush Street, constructed in 1915 and currently owned by Nancy Kapoor Hermle, has undergone several significant improvements and faced recurring elevator issues in recent years. Most notably, a partial seismic retrofit was completed in 2014-2015 (costing $200,000), followed by various related structural and safety improvements including a new fire alarm system installed in 2017 ($20,000). Recent plumbing work in 2023 involved the removal of laundry facilities, while earlier upgrades included backflow replacement in 2012 and various plumbing modifications in 2015-2016.

The building has faced persistent elevator problems throughout 2023-2024, with multiple tenant complaints about extended outages affecting disabled residents and potential ADA violations. Fire safety inspections have revealed some ongoing concerns, including a recent violation issued in December 2023 regarding sleeping area requirements. The building's maintenance history shows attention to various building systems, including the removal of obsolete rooftop equipment in 2015 and foundation work in 2015, though several older violations from 2000 and earlier were noted for issues such as leaking lightwell, water heater strapping, and basement fireproofing. The property's location in downtown San Francisco has also experienced typical urban challenges as evidenced by multiple 311 calls regarding street cleaning and waste management in recent months.

Risk rating

How 600-610 Bush 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
4th percentile

Out of 448 buildings in this neighborhood, 430 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 size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

NOV rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building NOV rate across everything this owner manages — high rates signal pattern neglect.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 4.5%
Moderate concern 74.0%
Severe concern 21.5%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
