Initial analysis

The 4-unit multi-family residential building at 2634-2636 Judah St in the Central Sunset neighborhood, owned by the Zeif Family Trust, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues since its construction in 1954. Most notably, Unit #4 suffered fire damage in 2022 that required extensive $115,000 repairs to walls, ceilings, roof framing, and electrical fixtures, with work completed in early 2023. More recently, in October 2023, Unit #1 underwent substantial improvements totaling $21,000 to address various code compliance issues identified in a March 2023 notice, including floor covering replacement, wall painting, ceiling repairs, and security upgrades such as deadbolt lock installation. This same notice also cited deficiencies in smoke/carbon monoxide alarm compliance, electrical systems, and interior surfaces.

The building's history shows a pattern of maintenance challenges, including a 2019 complaint about construction noise, a 2015 complaint regarding pest issues and an inoperable stove, and multiple plumbing/electrical updates including window replacements in 1991 and 2001. There were also notable housing code violations in 2001 related to combustible storage and fireproofing materials, and a 2015 complaint about inadequate heating systems. Recent maintenance work has included installation of new window coverings, complete electrical system upgrades in Unit #1, and plumbing improvements in both Unit #1 and Unit #4. The property has experienced multiple sewer-related issues in 2017, and various exterior maintenance items have been documented through 311 calls. While most recent violations have been resolved, the building's history indicates ongoing attention to maintenance and safety compliance is necessary, with particular attention needed to address any future fire-related risks or structural concerns.

Risk rating

How 2634-2636 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.
