Initial analysis

The three-story, six-unit multi-family residential building at 2712-2718 Sutter Street in Lower Pacific Heights, owned by James B. Delman, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past decade. Built in 1906, this Class A3 apartment building completed its required soft-story retrofit work as a Tier 3 property, receiving its Certificate of Final Completion. Recent building improvements include stair repairs in 2022 costing $12,000 and structural revisions in 2017 to replace footings and posts costing $7,500, demonstrating some attention to maintaining the building's infrastructure.

The property has a documented history of maintenance issues, particularly regarding moisture and mold problems. Multiple complaints from 2012-2013 documented concerns about windows, stairs, and mold, with violations issued for issues such as window frame repairs, stairs, sink repairs, handrails, and electrical systems. More recent complaints include a 2022 issue with unsafe lead paint removal practices and a 2014 complaint about water pooling in a tub and failing shower tiles. The building's exterior elements have also required attention, demonstrated by various street space permits issued between 2017-2018. While many of the historical violations were abated by 2013, the building has faced persistent issues with window seals, electrical outlets, and plumbing fixtures over the years. The property underwent routine exterior inspections, with the most recent notable complaint relating to potential lead paint safety violations in 2022.

Risk rating

How 2712-2718 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

Out of 670 buildings in this neighborhood, 362 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

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.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 66.4%
Moderate concern 24.8%
Severe concern 8.8%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
