Initial analysis

The two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building at 955 Burnett Avenue in Twin Peaks, owned by Harry Yu Suei and Wen-hsin Hs, has undergone several significant improvements since its construction in 1972. The building's safety features were notably enhanced in 1984 with the installation of automatic fire sprinklers in the lowest area, followed by a successful compliance update the same year. Major maintenance work was performed in 2013, including window replacements (14 aluminum windows from the Milgard brand) and repairs to stairs with dry rot, which affected less than 50% of the structure. The property has seen two reroofing projects, one completed in 2017 at a cost of $12,000, and an earlier one from 1998 which expired. Electrical upgrades were completed in 2014, including service changes and installation of four new disconnect panels with various amperage ratings.

The building's maintenance history includes regular housing inspections, with the most recent violation in May 2017 that was quickly resolved within two weeks. The property has experienced some recent neighborhood issues, including a loose manhole cover outside the building that was repaired in August 2024 and several instances of graffiti in 2023, though no graffiti was found upon inspection in one case. A historical variance related to lot area was approved for an adjacent property at 0 Portola Drive in 1990. The building's overall record shows regular maintenance and prompt resolution of violations, with no recent serious safety concerns reported.

Risk rating

How 955 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
87th percentile

Out of 172 buildings in this neighborhood, 22 are predicted to be safer.
