AI summary

The 12-unit apartment building at 2728 Judah Street in San Francisco's Central Sunset neighborhood is a 3-story structure built in 1963 that is owned by R-d Properties Co. The building has undergone several significant renovations and repairs over its lifetime, most notably completing a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2018 (at a cost of $75,000) to improve seismic safety. Recent building history shows attention to plumbing and kitchen improvements, with two units (4 and 8) undergoing water damage repairs in 2015, including cabinet and countertop replacements, electrical repairs, and sink relocations. The property has faced maintenance challenges, particularly with windows and building systems, as evidenced by a 2020 complaint regarding air and moisture leakage through windows and doors, followed by multiple building violations related to weather proofing, fire safety systems, and window maintenance - all of which were abated by August 2021.

The building's historical maintenance record shows regular upkeep and addressing of structural issues, including roofing work completed in 1988 and 2008, and wood repairs in 1990-1991. Fire safety has been a recurring focus, with violations in 2019 and 2021 related to exit maintenance and extinguishers, though these were promptly corrected. The property has maintained its multi-family residential classification under the San Francisco Building Code, achieving tier 3 soft-story retrofit compliance. Regular inspections and repairs suggest active management, though the recurring nature of certain maintenance issues, particularly regarding windows and fire safety systems, indicates ongoing challenges with building systems and resident comfort.

Risk rating

How 2728 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, 806 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

NOV rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building NOV rate across everything this owner manages — high rates signal pattern neglect.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 17.2%
Moderate concern 42.2%
Severe concern 40.6%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
