Initial analysis

The 6-story multi-family residential building at 928-930 Sutter Street, constructed in 1924 and currently owned by Incutech LLC, contains 46 units and has undergone significant modifications over the past decade. Between 2016-2018, the building underwent substantial work to legalize and add dwelling units, including the legalization of a ground-floor unit (Unit 108) and the addition of fire sprinkler systems. Recent concerns have focused on several maintenance and safety issues. In 2023, there was a notable plumbing failure with a water pipe burst on the sixth floor affecting the entire building. More recent complaints in 2024-2025 have highlighted problems with the elevator system, which has experienced multiple outages, and some continuing safety compliance issues including unresolved sleeping area requirements violations from November 2023.

The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of periodic violations and complaints related to basic services and safety systems. These include multiple heating and plumbing issues, concerns about mold, and problems with the fire safety systems including alarms and sprinklers. Between 2022 and 2023, there were multiple fire safety violations related to sleeping area requirements and sprinkler service compliance. The property has also experienced various service interruptions such as inadequate heat, electrical problems, and elevator outages. While many historical violations have been resolved, including a significant set of violations from 2003 related to egress, handrails, lighting, and the central alarm system, the building continues to face challenges with basic infrastructure maintenance and compliance with safety regulations.

Risk rating

How 928-930 Sutter 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.
