Initial analysis

The 10-unit apartment building at 2609 Judah Street in the Central Sunset neighborhood, owned by Dz Judah Llc, was constructed in 1959 and is a two-story multi-family residential structure. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the years, most notably completing a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017 at a cost of $78,000 to improve seismic safety. Recent maintenance has focused on bathroom upgrades in units #8 and #9, with plumbing and drywall work completed in 2023-2024. The building has experienced recurring moisture-related issues, with multiple instances of dry rot repairs documented between 2010-2011, including work in units #4 and #5, and more recent plumbing updates in 2024. Historical complaints from 2016 indicated problems with mold and interior surface damage, while earlier violations in 2001 involved fire safety concerns including egress obstruction and broken windows, though these were promptly resolved.

The property has maintained active compliance with building codes, including a recent inspection in 2019 confirming completion of the soft-story retrofit (Tier 3 status) and obtaining a Certificate of Final Completion. Fire safety inspections have shown occasional issues with extinguishers and combustible materials, though these were generally resolved promptly, with the most recent fire complaints from 2022 showing some conditions corrected. Historical tenant complaints have included water heater issues and cleaning concerns in 2005-2007, though these were also addressed. The building's maintenance history includes several plumbing and bathroom renovations, suggesting ongoing investment in property upkeep. Three parking exemption applications have been filed, though superfluous parking permits don't seem to be an issue given the building's location near public transport. Recent 311 calls have primarily concerned exterior matters such as parking issues and graffiti, rather than building maintenance concerns.

Risk rating

How 2609 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
