Initial analysis

The 29-unit, 5-story multi-family residential building at 925 Sutter Street, owned by Jnl Sutter Lp, has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects since its construction in 1922. Most recently, in 2024, substantial upgrades were made to the building's fire safety systems, including the installation of low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas and an upgrade to the fire alarm system with a new panel. The building has seen consistent investment in unit improvements, with major renovations completed in 2019 to Units 101 and 502, including kitchen and bathroom remodels, electrical rewiring, and plumbing upgrades. The property has had some notable infrastructure improvements, including the replacement of the domestic boiler in 2022 and galvanized water lines in 2020.

Recent complaints indicate current urgent concerns in the building, including a reported cockroach infestation in mid-2024 affecting Unit 502, and recurring issues with hot water availability as of early 2025. The building has a history of some fire safety violations and corrective actions, though many have been promptly addressed. Recent 311 calls from late 2024 through early 2025 show multiple reports of garbage and debris on the property, including instances of human waste, which have been resolved. The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to systems upgrades and unit improvements, but the recent pest infestation and hot water issues suggest current challenges that may impact resident quality of life.

Risk rating

How 925 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
31th percentile

Out of 448 buildings in this neighborhood, 309 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.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 7.2%
Moderate concern 67.8%
Severe concern 24.9%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
