Initial analysis

The property at 61-63 Wood Street is a 2-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Matthew Young. The building's recent history has been marked by numerous permit applications and violations, particularly concerning unauthorized unit modifications and space legalization efforts. In 2021, there were significant renovation activities, including the legalization of lower-level space with kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom modifications, though this work initially triggered a building violation for unpermitted bathroom remodeling. This led to subsequent permitted work including plumbing updates (bathtub to shower conversion), kitchen renovations, and electrical modifications (recessed light fixtures). A more recent complaint from August 2022 reported an unauthorized interior door installation in the downstairs unit, though this complaint is currently listed as not active.

The property has a complex planning history, with multiple records indicating attempts to address unauthorized dwelling unit (UDU) issues. Two pending planning records note concerns about unpermitted work and unauthorized UDU removal. An active planning submission proposes to either legalize an existing unit or combine it with the ground floor as an ADU, with the owner's intent to clean up and properly rent the property. Historical records from 1996 document a previous complaint about business operations from the property, though this is now resolved. The building's documented improvements include proper legalization of previously unauthorized spaces, though the process has involved multiple permits, complaints, and compliance efforts.

Risk rating

How 61-63 Wood 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
42th percentile

Out of 272 buildings in this neighborhood, 158 are predicted to be safer.

Building age

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