Initial analysis

The three-story, multi-family residential building at 1773-1777 Turk Street in the Western Addition, owned by the Malinda Sayoko Walters Rev estate, has undergone significant maintenance and improvements since its construction in 1905. Most notably, in 2024, the building received comprehensive sewer lateral replacement via trenchless pipe bursting method, addressing critical infrastructure needs. Between 2017-2018, the property underwent extensive repairs including dry rot remediation, window replacements, foundation work, and roofing improvements, collectively amounting to over $86,500 in restoration costs. The building's electrical system was upgraded in the mid-2000s, with complete rewiring of units and installation of new kitchen and bathroom circuits, though the top floor unit's electric space heater installation was excluded from the scope.

The property has a history of resolving multiple health, safety, and building code concerns, with all identified violations from a 2008 routine inspection being addressed by July 23, 2008. These violations included issues with gas shutoff tools, water heater ventilation, fire proofing materials, and sanitation concerns, all of which were subsequently corrected. The building has experienced several fire-related incidents, though none resulted in civilian injuries or significant damage, including false alarms and unintentional activations. Recent maintenance activities and prompt resolution of violations suggest active property management, though the building has seen recurring infrastructure issues requiring attention, as evidenced by the recent sewer work and previous foundation repairs. The property has undergone regular safety inspections, with the most recent routine safety inspection recorded in 2018.

Risk rating

How 1773-1777 Turk 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

Lower risk — safer than most nearby

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Typical — about average for the neighborhood

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Higher risk — riskier than most nearby

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
49thpercentile

Out of 167 buildings in this neighborhood, 85 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
