Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1534-1536 Judah Street in San Francisco's Central Sunset neighborhood, owned by Benjamin & Solane Tong Loui, is a two-story structure built in 1956. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the years, with the most substantial being a comprehensive window replacement project in 2011 that involved installing 20 new windows throughout the building, including four front windows with improved energy efficiency (U-factor .40). Other notable improvements include the installation of new sectional garage doors in 2011 (replacing two one-piece doors) and a complete reroofing project in 2006. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep of critical systems, particularly in 2011 when multiple upgrades were completed.

The property has experienced several street-related issues in the vicinity, as documented through 311 calls. These primarily relate to cleaning and maintenance of public spaces, with the most recent incident occurring in July 2023 involving loose garbage. The area has seen recurrent general cleaning needs, with multiple reports of loose garbage (seven instances between 2020 and 2023), two instances of graffiti (January and August 2019), and occasional parking enforcement needs, including a sidewalk parking violation in September 2022. While these issues pertain to the public right-of-way rather than the building itself, they may impact the overall neighborhood environment. The building's permit and maintenance record suggests regular upkeep and investment in property improvements, with no recorded safety violations or building code issues.

Risk rating

How 1534-1536 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.
