Initial analysis

2616 Sutter St is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building located in the Lower Pacific Heights neighborhood, owned by Steven M. Maraccini and dating back to 1900. The property has undergone several significant renovations over its history, with the most recent and substantial work occurring in 2021, when $50,000 worth of improvements were made to restore the historic exterior, including replacing stucco with Hardie board siding, installing new windows, and enhancing the entrance canopy, along with repairs to the rear deck and stairs. The building has experienced some infrastructure challenges, including a sewer line repair in 2016 and multiple water-related incidents in the 2016-2021 period, with the most recent being a water leak related to the main line in August 2021.

The property has a complicated history regarding its permitted uses, with a notable complaint filed in 2004 regarding an unpermitted conversion of the upper floor to childcare use. This issue was preceded by withdrawal of a permit application in 2006 for converting to residential with a large family daycare for 12 children. Planning records indicate concerns about unauthorized establishment of a third dwelling unit and parking violations, as well as issues related to a large childcare center operating during day and night hours with parking problems. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, including roofing work in 2000 and various repairs throughout the 1980s, with particular note of plumbing system maintenance including sewer repairs in 2016. The property has experienced some vandalism issues, with two instances of graffiti on utility poles reported in 2015 and 2016.

Risk rating

How 2616 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
81th percentile

Out of 670 buildings in this neighborhood, 127 are predicted to be safer.
