Initial analysis

The property at 2700 Sutter Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building with ground-floor commercial space, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by Hildy Burns. The building's history shows several significant events, with the most concerning being a completed fire damage repair from June 1990. More recent improvements include a $6,000 interior renovation of a doctor's office in 2006-2007, which involved installing new partitions, accessible entrances, and updated electrical fixtures including multiple receptacles, sconces, and a track light system. The property has experienced recurring issues with vacancy in the commercial space, with complaints filed in 2018 regarding potentially improper use as a childcare facility, and in 2019 and 2020 about a vacant storefront.

The building has undergone some maintenance work, including a reroofing project in 2000 and street space work permitted in 2013. Recent infrastructure challenges have emerged, with multiple 311 calls in 2024-2025 primarily related to street cleaning issues such as garbage, debris, and illegal postings. Notably, there was a sewage backup issue reported in November 2024 that was resolved by city services. The building's fire incident record shows only two minor events with no civilian injuries reported: a motor vehicle accident and a good intent call, neither of which indicate any building-related problems. The property's location in Lower Pacific Heights has experienced ongoing street maintenance challenges, as evidenced by numerous 311 calls regarding sidewalk cleanliness and illegal dumping, though these are more indicative of neighborhood conditions than building issues per se.

Risk rating

How 2700 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.
