Initial analysis

The 12-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 825 Burnett Avenue in Twin Peaks, built in 1961 and owned by Peter J Susnow Tr, has undergone several significant improvements and faced various challenges over the years. Most recently, in April 2023, building inspectors identified multiple active violations related to safety and maintenance, including issues with carbon monoxide and smoke alarms, fire escape drop ladders, lead paint hazards, general interior surface conditions, and structural maintenance requirements. The building completed its mandatory soft-story retrofit work in 2017, which cost $50,000 and brought the property into compliance with seismic safety standards. Recent maintenance includes a substantial $100,000 reroofing project initiated in April 2023, demonstrating investment in the building's infrastructure.

The property has a history of various maintenance and safety-related complaints, though many have been resolved over time. Notable past issues included reports of unsecured doors and window leaks in 2004-2005, heating system problems in 2006, and multiple fire safety-related violations in 2003. Fire safety systems have generally been maintained, with recent fire complaints in 2023 (no merit), 2020 (corrected condition), and 2017 (corrected condition) showing attention to fire safety infrastructure. The building has experienced typical urban challenges such as occasional parking violations and infrastructure maintenance issues, including a sewage backup in 2017 and streetlight problems in 2017, both of which were resolved.

Risk rating

How 825 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

Out of 172 buildings in this neighborhood, 131 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.

NOV rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building NOV rate across everything this owner manages — high rates signal pattern neglect.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 39.9%
Moderate concern 30.7%
Severe concern 29.4%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
