Initial analysis

The two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building at 1710-1718 Judah Street in the Central Sunset neighborhood, owned by Edward Guangxin Wang, has a concerning history of maintenance issues and safety incidents spanning several decades. Most notably, in October 2022, multiple complaints were filed regarding hazardous conditions including gas leaks, broken appliances, deteriorated electrical equipment, and dangerous wiring - though these complaints are currently listed as "Not Active." Earlier complaints from 1998 documented a range of serious problems including inadequate water pressure, non-functional bathtub cold water, stairwell lighting issues, unsafe use of extension cords, a broken window, pest problems, malfunctioning bathroom heater, and security concerns with the front door lock. The building's infrastructure maintenance record shows a reroofing project from 1994 (now expired) and a street space permit from 2008, though these appear to be minimal improvements for a structure built in 1939.

Recent activity around the property (2023-2024) has primarily involved external maintenance and sanitation issues, with numerous 311 calls regarding street cleaning, loose garbage, and sidewalk conditions. Notably, there was a sidewalk defect reported in March 2024 that remains open, and several general cleaning issues were documented and resolved. Two fire-related incidents are on record: one involving combustible/flammable materials and another due to a malfunctioning smoke detector, though neither resulted in civilian injuries. The building's recent history suggests ongoing challenges with maintenance and safety compliance, particularly regarding basic building systems and environmental hygiene, though many recent complaints have focused on external conditions rather than the building structure itself.

Risk rating

How 1710-1718 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.
