Initial analysis

The property at 2570-2572 Sutter Street, a 2-unit residential building constructed in 1904, has undergone significant renovations and faced several challenges over the past decades. The building underwent major improvements in 2006, including comprehensive electrical and plumbing upgrades, and complete kitchen and bathroom remodeling of both units, followed by window replacements and flooring work. In 2007-2008, the property experienced structural issues leading to multiple repairs, including dry rot remediation at the rear of the building, deck and stair construction, and soil stabilization work, though this period was marked by a violation for exceeding the scope of work outside permitted limits that wasn't fully resolved until 2010. The building received important safety upgrades in the following years, including foundation underpinning and front entry steps replacement.

More recent history shows ongoing maintenance work, with various plumbing updates including water service replacement and multiple inspections in 2007. The building's exterior faced challenges with paint condition in 2009, leading to recommendations regarding lead paint safety and weatherproofing, though these issues were abated by 2010. The property has been subject to multiple 311 calls in recent years, primarily related to sidewalk cleaning and graffiti removal between 2020-2024, with the most recent being a noise complaint in December 2024 and reports of garbage and debris on the property. While these maintenance and exterior issues indicate ongoing upkeep needs, they have generally been addressed through proper channels, and the building has maintained its multi-family residential use structure throughout these events.

Risk rating

How 2570-2572 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

Out of 670 buildings in this neighborhood, 107 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 age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 83.4%
Moderate concern 12.6%
Severe concern 3.9%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
