AI summary

The property at 2626 Sutter Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in Lower Pacific Heights, owned by Jew/chan Fmly Tr and constructed in 1900. The building has experienced several significant events over its history, most notably a fire incident in 2006 that resulted in substantial repairs to the front exterior wall, window replacements, electrical rewiring, kitchen cabinet replacement, bathroom remodeling, and exterior siding work, all completed at a cost of $50,000. In 2006, the property underwent additional improvements including rear yard wood deck repairs, panel service upgrade to 200 amps, door replacements, hardwood floor replacement, and garage door replacement, totaling $70,000, though this permit later expired and led to violation proceedings.

The building faced compliance issues that culminated in abatement proceedings initiated in 2008, with multiple notices of violation issued for failure to complete required inspections, though these violations were ultimately abated by April 2015. More recent concerns have primarily involved parking and street maintenance issues outside the building, with multiple reports of vehicle violations including sidewalk parking and driveway blocking between 2018 and 2023. The most recent building-related service request was recorded in January 2023, though it appeared to be related to public works rather than building safety or habitability conditions. The property has maintained compliance with building codes since the resolution of the 2008 violations, with no documented fire safety or structural concerns since the 2006 fire incident.

Risk rating

How 2626 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
82th percentile

Out of 670 buildings in this neighborhood, 121 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.

Property class: multi-family flat

2–4 unit flats (class F) are a common SF building type with their own maintenance and complaint patterns.

Building permits, owner's portfolio

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 79.6%
Moderate concern 16.9%
Severe concern 3.5%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
