Initial analysis

This six-story multi-family residential building at 1007 Sutter St, built in 1923 and containing 38 units, has experienced several maintenance and safety issues over the past decades, with recent concerns continuing into 2023-2024. The property has undergone various significant improvements, including a $30,000 apartment remodel in 2014 (kitchen and bathroom renovations), multiple plumbing upgrades such as house trap replacements and pipe installations in 2015, and electrical work including kitchen rewiring and smoke detector installations. However, there have been recurring infrastructure and safety concerns, notably regarding the fire safety systems. In particular, the building has had multiple fire sprinkler/standpipe system issues in 2023-2024, with the most recent violation from December 2023 remaining open regarding sleeping area requirements. The building has also experienced elevator safety issues, with multiple incidents requiring emergency services for trapped occupants.

Historical violations and complaints reveal a pattern of maintenance challenges, including mold and mildew issues in 2011, unauthorized construction work in 2014, and various building system deficiencies. The property has undergone several major infrastructure updates, including roof repairs in 2004, termite repairs in 1994, and HVAC system modifications including boiler replacements between 2009-2010. Recent tenant complaints indicate ongoing concerns, such as a 2024 report of improperly insulated windows causing drafts and leaks. The building's location has also faced external challenges, as evidenced by numerous recent 311 calls (2024) regarding street cleaning and maintenance issues in the surrounding area, including reports of debris and encampments near the property. While many violations have been addressed and corrected over the years, the building continues to require attention to its fire safety systems and infrastructure maintenance, as evidenced by recent complaints and violations.

Risk rating

How 1007 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
21th percentile

Out of 448 buildings in this neighborhood, 354 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 7.4%
Moderate concern 66.1%
Severe concern 26.4%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
