Initial analysis

2615 Sutter Street is a two-unit residential building located in Lower Pacific Heights, owned by Golden Properties LLC, with a rich history of renovations and improvements spanning several years. Built in 1900, this two-story flats/duplex structure has undergone significant modifications and safety upgrades since 2014, including a major proposed horizontal and vertical addition project valued at $975,000 that would expand living spaces and add a roof deck. Between 2019 and 2024, the building received substantial safety improvements, most notably the installation of a comprehensive fire sprinkler system throughout the building (2019-2021) with associated monitoring and plumbing work, as well as structural enhancements including a new steel moment frame installation in the garage (2021). Recent electrical upgrades have included the installation of an electric vehicle charging station with new panels in September 2023.

The building had serious safety issues in 2004, with multiple complaints regarding deteriorated and unsafe entry stairs and landings, which were not abated until 2010. During the renovation period from 2019 to 2021, there was a complaint about construction attracting rodents and debris, though this was quickly addressed. A tenant buyout was recorded in August 2019 for $70,000, and the property underwent multiple permit revisions and updates, with several permits reaching completion status in 2023. Recent minor issues have mainly involved parking enforcement matters, with multiple citations issued between 2023-2024 for parking violations on or near the property, though these do not directly relate to building safety or habitability concerns.

Risk rating

How 2615 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.
