Initial analysis

935 Sutter Street is a 5-story, 30-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1923, currently managed by Sutter Street II Trust 2012. The property has undergone significant renovations over the past two decades, with major upgrades including fire sprinkler installations, multiple unit renovations (particularly in 2011-2012), and essential infrastructure improvements such as water main and sewer line replacements in 2015 and 2018. Recent concerns have emerged regarding building maintenance, with the most significant current issues being plumbing-related: in May 2024, complaints were filed regarding mold, bathroom leaks affecting tiles and walls, and ceiling damage in the master bedroom. Additional recent maintenance work includes final inspections for various completed projects in 2013 and a door upgrade to a solid wood door with glass panels that year.

The building has experienced several notable infrastructure and safety-related events, including an elevator service complaint in July 2017, a boiler permit renewal issue in May 2018, and multiple fire-related incidents between 2007 and 2023. Of particular concern is a current open fire violation (as of December 2023) regarding sleeping area requirements. Historical data shows periodic maintenance and safety compliance issues, including multiple fire code violations in 2020, though many past violations have been successfully addressed and closed. The property has seen regular unit improvements, with multiple apartments receiving comprehensive kitchen and bathroom renovations, electrical system upgrades, and modernizations of safety systems. Recent tenant buyouts occurred in August 2023 ($10,000) and December 2024 ($1,577.44), indicating some tenant turnover in the building.

Risk rating

How 935 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.

Neighborhood percentile

Out of 448 buildings in this neighborhood, 314 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 11.5%
Moderate concern 51.5%
Severe concern 37.0%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
