Initial analysis

The property at 1527 Judah Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Central Sunset neighborhood, built in 1945 and currently owned by the Yee Family Trust. The building has experienced several significant structural issues requiring attention over recent years, most notably concerning the rear egress stairs. In 2020, violations were recorded regarding unpermitted work on the rear stairs, which had previously exhibited structural problems with cracked stringers. This situation required two separate permits for correction, including a $25,000 project to remove and replace the existing rear egress stair to comply with the violation notice, which was ultimately completed in 2020. A maintenance history shows other significant work, including a completed reroofing project in 2017 and the installation of aluminum windows in 1992.

The building's recent history (2022-2024) has been relatively stable, with no major building violations recorded since the 2020 stair-related issues were resolved. The property has had typical urban encumbrances such as graffiti, sidewalk cleaning, parking enforcement issues, and illegal postings, as documented through 311 calls, though these do not directly reflect on the building's condition or habitability. A noise complaint was logged in 2018, and there have been a few instances of reported driveway blocking between 2018 and 2022, but these are common urban issues not directly related to the building's structural integrity or resident safety. The most recent building-related work addressed fundamental safety requirements and complied with city regulations, suggesting improved oversight of building maintenance and repairs.

Risk rating

How 1527 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.
