Initial analysis

The 18-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 975 Burnett Avenue in Twin Peaks, built in 1963 and owned by SF Multifamily V Property O, has undergone significant renovations and faced various maintenance challenges over the past two decades. Most recently, in December 2023, the building received violations related to sleeping area requirements, and there was a cancelled permit in March 2024 for upgrading the fire alarm system to meet current codes with low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas. The building has experienced recurring fire safety system issues, with multiple violations and complaints related to alarm systems between 2007 and 2019, including the most recent violations showing non-compliance with sleeping area requirements. A substantial upgrade was completed in 2015 with the installation of 6 moment frames for seismic soft-story retrofitting, bringing the building into compliance with seismic safety standards.

Recent improvements to the property have included extensive unit renovations, such as the addition of 4 new units (2 on the ground level and 2 on the second level) per ordinance 162-16, though this permit remains filed as of 2021. Between 2019 and 2021, units underwent substantial upgrades including new bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen appliances, and plumbing fixtures. The building's maintenance history shows regular updates to individual units, including kitchen and bathroom remodels, electrical system improvements, and plumbing upgrades like the installation of solar water heating systems in 2016. While the building has faced various maintenance issues, including a 2022 complaint about an electric stove and a 2021 concern about a noisy hot water system, most violations have been promptly addressed, with the exception of the recent violations regarding sleeping area requirements and fire alarm system compliance.

Risk rating

How 975 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
