Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2240 Judah Street in the Central Sunset neighborhood, owned by Sanotsky Vera, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1945. The property has undergone significant recent renovations, with major work completed in 2022 including comprehensive remodeling of both units, installation of new bathrooms, removal of non-load-bearing walls between living room/kitchen areas, and creation of new bedrooms in both units. This renovation project, valued at $82,313, was accompanied by the replacement of two furnaces and complete plumbing and electrical work for two bathrooms and two kitchens, all of which were properly permitted and completed.

The building has experienced some maintenance issues requiring attention, including dry rot repair of a second-floor deck landing in 2020 (approximately 4x8 feet). There were two notable complaints filed with the Building Inspection Division: one in July 2020 regarding unauthorized structural work and deck removal beyond the permitted scope, and another in November 2022 concerning wall removal that allegedly caused a rat infestation, though both complaints were marked as "Not Active." The property has had proper maintenance work completed, including a window replacement project in 2020 (replacing four windows with aluminum counterparts) and deck repairs, demonstrating ongoing upkeep of the building's infrastructure. Recent activity at the property has primarily involved three maintenance issues: two illegal parking incidents with vehicles blocking driveways in May 2024, and one case of loose garbage that was cleaned up in the same month.

Risk rating

How 2240 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
