Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family residential building located at 219-225 Judah Street in the Inner Sunset neighborhood was constructed in 1987 as a flats and duplex property containing two units, currently owned by the Timothy Yim 2020 Living Trust. The building's history shows several permit activities in 1995, including the addition of a half bath in the basement and modifications to the closet layout, while earlier records from 1985 indicate demolition of a previous residential structure on the site. The property has undergone some significant maintenance work in recent years, most notably a house trap replacement completed in June 2022, and there have been recurring sewer-related issues, with three documented sewage backup incidents in 2021-2022, including one incident in June 2022 that required Public Utilities Commission (PUC) Sewer Operations intervention.

The building has experienced some regulatory scrutiny, particularly in 2012 when complaints were filed regarding an allegedly illegal unit (#225A) with concerns about unauthorized rental activity and improper utility metering, though these complaints were ultimately marked as not active. Recent maintenance issues have included a missing side sewer vent cover in late 2021, which was subsequently addressed along with sidewalk repairs. The property has also been the subject of various municipal service calls, primarily related to sewer and water systems, as well as some external maintenance matters such as defaced signs and illegal postings on traffic infrastructure in 2021-2022. The most recent interactions with city services have been limited to parking and encampment issues outside the building in mid-2024, which were either resolved or could not be located by responding authorities.

Risk rating

How 219-225 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, 224 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

Owner's portfolio size

Number of SF parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios have distinct risk patterns.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 84.8%
Moderate concern 9.7%
Severe concern 5.5%
