Initial analysis

The property at 2592 Sutter Street is a century-old, two-unit residential building located in Lower Pacific Heights, currently owned by Nikhil Raheja. The building underwent significant renovations from 2016-2018, including major interior reconfigurations on both floors, addition of a powder room and roof deck, and updates to electrical, plumbing, and heating systems. The work was initially concerning, generating multiple complaints from neighbors in 2014-2016 regarding unsafe conditions, open construction access, debris, and structural concerns, though these complaints were marked as not active. The renovation period saw several permit revisions, including modifications to kitchen and dining room placements and collector details, with the total renovation cost exceeding $220,000.

The building's infrastructure improvements included two gas furnaces, hydronic heating systems, fireplace installations, and a 200-amp electrical service upgrade completed in 2015. Multiple plumbing and electrical permits were issued and completed, covering extensive bathroom and kitchen remodels, laundry facilities, and comprehensive electrical wiring updates. While there were several permit expirations and renewals required during the renovation period (2013-2015), all major work was ultimately completed. The property has had five documented fire department responses, though none resulted in injuries or confirmed fires, with incidents including smoke detector activations, a gas leak, and two false alarms. Recent building modifications appear complete, though the property had a history of construction-related neighborhood impact during the renovation period.

Risk rating

How 2592 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
69th percentile

Out of 670 buildings in this neighborhood, 208 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.

Building age

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

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 76.6%
Moderate concern 13.7%
Severe concern 9.7%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
