Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 54 States Street in Corona Heights, constructed in 1963, has undergone significant recent renovations and maintenance work, with the most substantial updates occurring between 2022 and 2024. The property has seen comprehensive remodeling efforts, including a $110,000 renovation of the second-floor kitchen and first-floor bathroom in 2023, followed by similar updates to the third-floor kitchen and bathrooms in 2021. Recent work also includes the installation of two new heat pump systems (2022), two new tankless water heaters (2022), and the addition of a direct-vent gas fireplace (2022). Current ongoing maintenance involves the repair and replacement of front-facing wood decks and guardrails, with a $35,000 project permitted in May 2024.

The building's infrastructure has been systematically updated, with electrical improvements including new lighting installations and subpanels in both units between 2022 and 2024. Historical maintenance records show attention to structural integrity, with multiple instances of dry-rot repair work being documented between 2010 and 2017. The property has experienced some exterior maintenance issues as evidenced by multiple 311 calls for general cleaning and loose garbage on the street and sidewalk between 2020 and 2024, though these are typical for urban settings. Recent plumbing work has included extensive bathroom and kitchen remodeling, with all associated permits marked as complete. While the building has undergone substantial improvements, the consistent pattern of maintenance and upgrades suggests active management and investment in the property's upkeep.

Risk rating

How 54 States 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 348 buildings in this neighborhood, 3 are predicted to be safer.
