Initial analysis

The 34-unit, three-story apartment building at 1776 Sutter Street in Lower Pacific Heights, owned by Namiki Apartments LP, has undergone significant safety upgrades and maintenance since its construction in 1980. The most recent improvements include a 2024 fire alarm upgrade related to elevator modernization and the installation of new smoke detectors in the elevator machine room. A sleeping area sound level verification was also completed in early 2024. The building has received comprehensive fire safety improvements, including the installation of a new fire sprinkler system on multiple floors in 2018 (completed at a cost of $125,320), addition of monitor modules for flow and tamper switches, and updates to the fire alarm system connectivity. Notably, a sleeping area requirement violation was issued and promptly abated in December 2023.

The property has experienced several routine maintenance and upgrade projects, such as the replacement of water heating systems in 2017 and various electrical upgrades throughout its history. The building has generated multiple 311 calls in recent years, primarily related to external issues like garbage overflow, sidewalk defects, and tree root damage, though most have been resolved promptly. Fire incident records show primarily false alarms and system activation events, with no reported civilian injuries. The building underwent a significant electrical rewiring project in 2002 that included ADA unit modifications and community space updates. While there have been three documented fire alarm system-related complaints (in 2016, 2018, and 2023), these were all corrected through appropriate remedial actions. The property has maintained active compliance with fire safety requirements, as evidenced by the prompt resolution of recent violations and ongoing system upgrades.

Risk rating

How 1776 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
9th percentile

Out of 670 buildings in this neighborhood, 610 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.

Property class (A15)

The assessor's property-class code, which correlates with building type and the violation rates the model expects.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 18.8%
Moderate concern 72.7%
Severe concern 8.5%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
