Initial analysis

The 3-unit multi-family residential building at 615 Burnett Ave in Twin Peaks, constructed in 1961, has undergone several significant improvements and faced notable challenges over the past decades. Most recently, in 2018, substantial renovations were completed including a kitchen and bathroom remodel in Unit 3, along with electrical upgrades comprising rewiring, new subpanel installation, and smoke detector installations. The building has experienced recurring issues with balcony maintenance, particularly in 2016, when multiple complaints were filed regarding the replacement of three-level balconies not being performed "in kind" as permitted. A significant violation was recorded in 2011 when an unauthorized fourth unit was discovered in the converted first-floor area, leading to the removal of an illegal kitchen and associated plumbing. The building has maintained regular infrastructure upkeep, including three reroofing projects (most recently in 2018 at a cost of $12,500) and window/patio door replacements between 2010-2012.

The property has faced periodic regulatory scrutiny, with violations primarily focused on fire safety and unauthorized modifications being addressed through various permits and inspections. Most notably, there were multiple citations in 2001 regarding fire extinguisher maintenance and building permits, all of which were eventually abated. A fire safety complaint regarding blocked exits was filed in 2010 but found to have no merit. Recent 311 calls from late 2024 through early 2025 indicate ongoing issues with garbage and debris management in the vicinity, though these appear to be external to the building itself. The building's owner, Lee Family Trust, has generally complied with requirements to address violations, as evidenced by the completion of numerous building permits and regular maintenance activities documented over the years.

Risk rating

How 615 Burnett Ave'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
84th percentile

Out of 172 buildings in this neighborhood, 28 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.

DBI complaint rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building complaint rate across the owner's portfolio.

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 73.0%
Moderate concern 16.0%
Severe concern 11.0%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
