Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family residential building at 1122-1128 Sutter Street, owned by Mitchell Trust, was constructed in 1910 and contains 15 units. The property has undergone several significant improvements and faced multiple compliance challenges over the years. Most notably, there was a period of unauthorized commercial-to-residential conversion in 2008-2009, involving ground floor commercial space used as a recording studio, which prompted multiple violations and complaints. The building completed important seismic retrofit work in 2003 ($97,000) and has recently addressed accessibility requirements with permits filed in 2019 for main entry improvements ($16,500 combined).

The property has experienced recurring fire safety compliance issues, with violations noted in 2020, 2022, and most recently in September 2024 regarding alarm system maintenance, though these have been abated or referred to hearing. Historical maintenance issues included weatherproofing problems, lead paint concerns, and various interior and exterior repairs, most of which were resolved by March 2005. The building's systems have been periodically updated, with the most recent electrical improvement completed in December 2024 involving replacement of existing disconnects with circuit breaker types. Recent 311 calls from late 2024 primarily concerned street cleaning issues, including reports of garbage, debris, and encampments in the vicinity, though these do not directly reflect on the building's internal conditions.

Risk rating

How 1122-1128 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
62th percentile

Out of 448 buildings in this neighborhood, 170 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.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

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 9.7%
Moderate concern 57.3%
Severe concern 33.1%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
