Initial analysis

The three-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 19-25 Culebra Terrace in Russian Hill, currently owned by William E. Hutcheson Trustee, has a documented history dating back to its 1900 construction. The property has undergone several significant renovations, including a notable interior remodeling of the top floor in 1997 that involved kitchen and bathroom updates and wood replacements. Multiple maintenance issues have emerged over the years, with the most recent concerns centering around water-related problems. As of October 2023, there are three active plumbing complaints: a water leak in front of the stairs (1996), a leak into a unit (1995), and persistent issues with a leaking roof over the inside back porch (1995), along with deteriorating railings on the back porch.

The building has experienced recurring maintenance and safety-related issues that required attention from housing inspection services. These include multiple violations related to fire safety in 2005 (such as gas utility shutoff tool requirements and fire extinguisher recharging), stair repairs in 2017, and lighting problems in 2017-2018. While many of these violations have been marked as "Not Active," they indicate a pattern of maintenance challenges. Historical records show various improvements to the property, including deck and stairway replacements in the 1990s, deck member replacements in 1987, and a furnace replacement in 2011. The building has also experienced infrastructure issues in the surrounding area, with documented water main break and flooding incidents on Culebra Terrace in 2009, though these were external to the building itself.

Risk rating

How 19-25 Culebra Ter'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.
