Initial analysis

The property at 2648-2652 Judah Street in the Central Sunset neighborhood is a one-story mixed-use building constructed in 1949, containing two residential units and ground-floor commercial space. The building has undergone several significant modifications and faced multiple compliance issues over the years, with the most concerning developments occurring in recent years. Between 2020-2021, there were violations related to unauthorized gas piping and heater installations in an outdoor dining structure, leading to penalties and monitoring fees. In 2007-2008, the building faced major compliance issues regarding unauthorized modifications, including improper HVAC equipment installation, closed exits, and unsafe electrical setups, which resulted in abatement proceedings. The property has undergone various renovations, including a 2019 permit for window trim replacement and bathroom door updates, and a 2008 reconfiguration of a restaurant space that significantly reduced its occupancy load and required various safety improvements.

The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep of its commercial space, with numerous permits for plumbing and electrical work, though many of these permits ultimately expired or were cancelled. Several complaints and violations have been recorded over the years, including issues with a refrigeration unit noise, unauthorized modifications, and expired permits, though most of these have been resolved through proper channels. The property has maintained its mixed-use nature with both residential and commercial components, and has complied with various regulatory requirements, including obtaining necessary ABC licenses for its restaurant components. Recent 311 calls primarily relate to parking issues and general city services, with no major building-specific concerns reported in the last couple of years.

Risk rating

How 2648-2652 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.
