Initial analysis

The 3-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 608 Judah Street in the Inner Sunset, owned by the V & L Young Family Trust, has undergone several significant maintenance and safety updates since its construction in 1970. Most recently, in July 2024, the electrical system was upgraded with new panels installed in the garage and each apartment, improving accessibility and safety. The building has received regular maintenance attention, including a $12,500 reroofing project in 2018, and prior window replacements in 2016. Historical records show that the building underwent roofing work in 1997 and had some minor maintenance issues addressed in 2001.

A notable incident occurred in January 2008 during a routine housing inspection when multiple fire safety violations were identified, including concerns about combustible storage and the need for directional signs. These violations were promptly addressed and abated by February 2008. The building's maintenance record shows consistent upkeep of essential systems, with no active violations or safety concerns on record. Recent service calls from 2023-2024 have primarily involved typical urban issues such as street cleaning and graffiti removal, with one open case regarding tree root damage to the sidewalk from November 2023. The property appears well-maintained with regular updates to infrastructure systems, though the presence of various street-level service calls suggests typical urban neighborhood challenges rather than building-specific issues.

Risk rating

How 608 Judah 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

Out of 1493 buildings in this neighborhood, 911 are predicted to be safer.
