Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family residential building at 690-692 Sutter Street in Union Square, owned by Hanseum LLC, consists of three units and was constructed in 1919. The property has undergone significant recent maintenance and improvements, including a substantial $36,000 reroofing project completed in 2022, following a previous reroofing in 2011 costing $5,000. In 2013, the building underwent major interior renovations valued at $135,000, which included comprehensive plumbing and electrical updates across multiple units, installation of new appliances, and modernization of fixtures. These improvements were followed by the successful abatement of illegal short-term rental violations, with the owner subsequently converting the units to 30-day minimum stays.

Of particular concern is a recent housing service disruption, with a complaint filed in April 2024 regarding lack of hot water, gas, and heat that reportedly persisted for three months. This issue was documented in the building violations but was abated within a week of filing. The property has experienced several maintenance and service-related issues in 2024, with multiple reports related to garbage and debris on the street and sidewalk areas, though these were generally resolved promptly. A restaurant (previously known as Aloha Deli) operating under ABC Type 41 license has been part of the building's commercial space, with proper permits maintained according to San Francisco Planning records. The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to basic infrastructure, though the recent utility service disruptions may indicate potential challenges with building systems or emergency response protocols.

Risk rating

How 690-692 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.
