Initial analysis

The three-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 600 Judah Street in the Inner Sunset, owned by Melanie Johe Small, has demonstrated a history of maintenance and safety compliance efforts since its construction in 1970. Significant building improvements include a comprehensive window replacement project in 2012 (cost: $5,500) involving 12 retrofit windows meeting 2010 CBC code requirements, and a gas heater replacement in 2017. The property underwent two routine housing inspections in 2001 and 2011, revealing several safety compliance issues that were promptly addressed and abated within approximately one month of being cited. These violations included requirements for smoke detectors, fire extinguisher maintenance, combustible storage removal, and seismic bracing of the hot water heater. All cited violations were successfully resolved, with the 2011 inspection noting specific focus on fire safety equipment and seismic requirements.

Recent observations from 2024 primarily concern external conditions, with multiple reports of sidewalk debris and maintenance needs. Notably, there is currently an open issue regarding lifted sidewalk sections due to tree roots, reported on October 17, 2024. The property has experienced recurring issues with sidewalk cleanliness, as evidenced by several 311 calls for garbage and debris removal between August 2024 and January 2025, though most of these cases have been resolved or transferred to appropriate agencies. These external maintenance issues, while numerous, are primarily related to street and sidewalk conditions rather than building-specific problems.

Risk rating

How 600 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
