Initial analysis

The three-story, four-unit multi-family residential building at 195 Collingwood St, owned by the Jay M Cutler Trust 2014 and constructed in 1907, has undergone significant improvements over the past few years, including mandatory seismic retrofitting in 2015-2016. The building completed its soft-story retrofit as a Tier 3 building, which included ground floor improvements and the addition of a new dwelling unit. Recent electrical upgrades in 2022 involved moving Federal Pacific panels from closets to hallways and replacing them with new panels in all units, improving safety and access. Between 2019 and 2020, units 2 and 3 received substantial renovations, including kitchen remodels, electrical upgrades, and new appliances, while the building also benefited from a new concrete deck and steps installation in 2017.

The building has maintained a good safety record in recent years, with comprehensive fire safety improvements made in 2016, including the installation of a new fire alarm system and sprinkler modifications. Previous violations related to security and fire safety from 2007 were resolved by February 2008. The property has undergone routine housing inspections in 2000, 2007, and 2011, all of which were marked as not active. Recent 311 calls in late 2024 primarily addressed street cleaning and sidewalk maintenance issues, while a collapsed sidewalk and curb defect reported in November 2024 were resolved by the city.

Risk rating

How 195 Collingwood 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
40th percentile

Out of 1278 buildings in this neighborhood, 767 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Neighborhood location

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

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 62.0%
Moderate concern 19.6%
Severe concern 18.5%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
