Initial analysis

The 3-unit multi-family residential building at 109-111 Sutro Heights Ave in the Outer Richmond neighborhood, owned by Peliks Living Trust, has undergone several significant improvements since its construction in 1954. Most recently, in April 2023, the property received a major re-roofing renovation costing $27,000. The building features two stories and has seen substantial upgrades over the years, including a 2008-2009 project that added new wood decks with glass railings at all three levels and replaced rear windows, costing $60,000. In 2006, a significant modification was completed with the installation of a 4-stop hydraulic elevator and excavation to create storage space, costing $65,000, along with corresponding electrical work.

The property's maintenance history shows attention to building system upgrades, including a kitchen and bathroom remodel in 2011 (with associated electrical and plumbing work), though there have been some compliance issues during renovations. Several complaints were filed between 2009-2012 regarding unpermitted work and construction-related disturbances, including concerns about dust/debris impact on neighbors. While these complaints were eventually resolved, they indicate a period of construction-related challenges. More recently, there have been two recorded sewage backup incidents in 2014 and 2024, suggesting occasional plumbing system challenges. The building's open space has been addressed through various permits, including street space permits in 2006.

Risk rating

How 109-111 Sutro Heights Ave'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 1040 buildings in this neighborhood, 842 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.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

DBI complaint rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building complaint rate across the owner's portfolio.

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 39.0%
Moderate concern 51.3%
Severe concern 9.7%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
