Initial analysis

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 2584-2586 Sutter Street in Lower Pacific Heights, owned by Canotas Louis E, has a complex history dating back to its 1900 construction. The property underwent significant renovations in 2011, including comprehensive updates to all three units featuring kitchen and bathroom remodels, electrical rewiring, and plumbing improvements including new boilers and radiant heating systems. More recent construction issues have emerged, particularly during 2021-2023, when a complaint was filed regarding unauthorized changes including an unauthorized roof raise and alterations beyond the scope of permitted work, though this issue was eventually resolved through a subsequent permit in 2022. The building faced multiple violations and complaints in the 2000s-2010s, including a period of vacancy in 2010 that triggered compliance issues with the Vacant or Abandoned Building Ordinance, concerns about dilapidation, and unauthorized construction work. Recent maintenance records indicate ongoing attention to building upkeep, though there have been several infrastructure and service issues noted in 2023-2024, particularly regarding street tree maintenance and parking concerns in the vicinity. The property has experienced two fire alarm incidents, both with no reported injuries, suggesting the fire safety systems are generally functional. A cluster of tree-related issues was documented through 311 calls in 2023-2024, indicating ongoing attention to external maintenance needs while the building's internal systems and units underwent various improvements over the past decade.

Risk rating

How 2584-2586 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
48th percentile

Out of 670 buildings in this neighborhood, 348 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

DBI complaint rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building complaint rate across the owner's portfolio.

DBI tenant complaints (past 7 years)

Formal complaints tenants filed with DBI about this building over 7 years.

Building age

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

Moderate concern 32.1%
Severe concern 8.7%
