Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1571-1573 Shrader Street, built in 1908 and currently owned by Justin Winfrey, has undergone significant and concerning changes in recent years. Most notably, in 2022, violations were filed regarding the illegal conversion of garage space into a new residential unit (UDU) with complete kitchen and bathroom facilities, along with unauthorized modifications to decks and stairs. These violations have triggered multiple rounds of required remediation work, including recent permits in 2024 valued at $22,000 and $500 to remove unauthorized bathroom facilities and kitchen components, along with associated electrical and plumbing work, to return the space to compliant storage use.

The building has several other outstanding compliance issues from 2019 that remain active, including violations related to deteriorated stairs, weatherproofing, and potential lead paint hazards, with respective permits issued in 2019 for repairs valued at $10,000. The property has a documented history of plumbing challenges, particularly with sewer issues in 2013, and underwent some modernization in the early 1990s with the installation of fifteen windows. Recent activity includes the replacement of a furnace (December 2024) and various compliance-related work. The building's history also shows previous maintenance work, including bathroom remodeling in 2006 and deck repairs in 2001. While there have been noise complaints recorded in 2020, and several 311 calls regarding various issues, these are less significant compared to the current compliance matters. The property has undergone multiple ownership changes over the years, with the current owner taking steps to address the most pressing code compliance issues through recent permitted work.

Risk rating

How 1571-1573 Shrader 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.
