Initial analysis

The 2145-2147 Judah Street property is a three-story, three-unit residential building constructed in 1988, currently owned by the Chan Family 2002 Revocable Trust. The building underwent significant development in 1987, including the demolition of a single-family dwelling and retail space, followed by the construction of the current multi-family structure, with complete permits for the residential building obtained on May 1, 1987. Subsequent maintenance work included a completed reroofing project in February 2007 costing $10,900. The property had two routine safety inspections in 2001 and 2011, with notable fire safety violations recorded in June 2001, including issues with fire extinguishers and excessive combustible storage in the garage; these violations were abated by July 26, 2001.

More recently, the property has experienced multiple sewer-related issues in 2024, with four separate incidents involving tree root damage to the sewer system reported between January and October 2024. These included a sewage backup discharge from the side sewer vent in September 2024, and corresponding tree maintenance operations by the Public Utilities Commission. The building's planning records indicate approval for a Neighborhood Commercial Use (NCU) permit, while an earlier request to remove a 1980 NCU termination date for a real estate office in the RH-3 district was filed but not approved. The property has generated various municipal service requests in recent years, including for sidewalk cleaning, street maintenance, and parking enforcement, though these are generally routine urban maintenance matters rather than building-specific issues.

Risk rating

How 2145-2147 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, 578 are predicted to be safer.
