Initial analysis

The property at 737-739 Judah Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Inner Sunset neighborhood. Built in 1945 and currently owned by Hong Living Trust, this flats/duplex structure has undergone several modifications and faced various maintenance issues over the years. The most significant interior renovation occurred in 2001 when ground floor improvements were made to create a new guest room, playroom, and bathroom at a cost of $15,000. Prior to that, in 1999, the front windows were replaced.

The building and its surroundings have experienced various maintenance and public service issues between 2018 and 2024. Recent concerns include multiple instances of sidewalk cleanliness and debris management, with resolved cases in 2023 and 2024 involving loose garbage and abandoned appliances. Of note is a collapsed sidewalk reported in August 2019, which was linked to utility work and a damaged water main. The property has also been subject to several municipal service requests, including reports of illegal postings (2021), improper toter management (2019), and two abandoned vehicle incidents (2019 and 2022), with one vehicle being towed in March 2022. The most recent 311 calls primarily relate to street cleaning and maintenance issues rather than building-specific problems, suggesting that while there are ongoing neighborhood maintenance concerns, there are no recent reports of building-specific problems or safety issues directly affecting the residence.

Risk rating

How 737-739 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 1493 buildings in this neighborhood, 30 are predicted to be safer.
