Initial analysis

The 15-unit apartment building at 1460 Sutter Street in Lower Pacific Heights, owned by John & Sarah Newsom Healy, was constructed in 1925 and consists of three stories. The property has undergone significant safety improvements in recent years, including a complete fire alarm system upgrade in 2019 (cost: $20,000) and a mandatory soft-story retrofit completed in 2017 (cost: $90,000), meeting San Francisco's seismic safety requirements. The building's maintenance history shows attention to structural integrity, with deck repairs completed in 2018 ($6,000) affecting multiple units, and both plumbing and electrical upgrades performed systematically across various apartments between 2013-2014.

Recent records indicate several quality-of-life and maintenance issues have been addressed, including the replacement of window hardware, water heater room ventilations, and various unit renovations. There have been no active housing code violations since 2000, when multiple fire safety and building maintenance issues were documented and subsequently resolved. The building has experienced occasional fire alarm system activations, though these have typically been due to malfunction rather than actual fires.

Risk rating

How 1460 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.
