Initial analysis

The 8-unit multi-family residential building at 2415 Judah Street, owned by T & M Chiang 1994 Survivors, is a 2-story apartment constructed in 1959. The property has been undergoing seismic retrofitting as a mandatory soft-story compliance project since 2015, with recent activity in 2023 indicating work partially completed in accordance with the 2012 IEBC Appendix A-4 requirements, though it remains classified as non-compliant under Tier 3 status. The building has a documented history of maintenance and safety issues, with significant violations recorded in 2001 including problems with fire safety systems, egress obstacles, plumbing issues, and interior surface conditions that were all abated by July 2001. More recent concerns include a 2013 complaint about insulation problems affecting temperature control, a 2010 report of faulty electrical wiring, and a 2016 incident involving unauthorized construction work in the basement.

The property has undergone several major maintenance projects over the years, including a $100,000 seismic retrofit in 2015, stucco and window repairs in 2010, and window replacements in 2004. Recent building permits indicate continued attention to building improvements, with an approved permit in November 2023 for work valued at $25,000. The surrounding area has experienced recurring parking enforcement issues, with multiple citations for blocked driveways documented between 2019 and 2023, though these are external to the building's structural and safety considerations.

Risk rating

How 2415 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.
