Initial analysis

The six-unit, single-story multi-family residential building at 2040 Judah Street in the Central Sunset neighborhood, constructed in 1955 and currently held in trust by Alice K Nishioka, has a documented history of fire safety violations from June 2001. During a routine housing inspection on June 11, 2001, the building was cited for two separate fire safety issues: the need for smoke enclosure door closers and the requirement to repair and maintain the fire escape drop ladder in working condition. These violations were promptly addressed and officially abated by July 13, 2001, suggesting timely response to safety concerns at that time.

More recently, the property has experienced recurring parking-related issues, with eight separate illegal parking complaints filed between February 27 and August 12, 2024. While the presence of multiple parking complaints indicates a persistent parking challenge in the vicinity, it's worth noting that many of these cases resulted in officers being unable to locate the offending vehicles when they responded to the calls. The most recent incidents include an open pavement defect case reported on August 12, 2024, and an open sign-related issue reported in April 2024, though these are more related to municipal infrastructure than building-specific concerns. The building's relatively clean record since the 2001 fire safety violations, with no major building-specific complaints or violations on record for the past two decades, suggests stable maintenance practices, despite the ongoing external parking issues in the neighborhood.

Risk rating

How 2040 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 814 buildings in this neighborhood, 545 are predicted to be safer.

Neighborhood location

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