Initial analysis

57-61 McCoppin St is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1907 and currently owned by Hor Cheung & Mak Chui Yung. The property has a documented history of safety and maintenance issues, with significant concerns identified during regular housing inspections in 2003, 2007, and 2011. The 2011 inspection revealed multiple violations that required attention, including unsafe stairs, missing handrails, security concerns, and electrical issues, though these were subsequently addressed with a permit showing completion of exterior stair repairs and handrail installations valued at $1,500. The building has experienced recurring fire safety concerns, with four violations noted between 2022 and 2024, including blocked exits, combustible materials, and one incident of multiple fire code violations in October 2024. Of particular note is the recent cluster of 311 calls from January 2025 reporting human waste/urine and other debris in the vicinity of the building, as well as recent fire code violations.

The building's fire incident history shows several alarm activations, though none resulted in fires or civilian injuries. Building maintenance history includes a 1996 reroofing permit and various compliance-related permits, though some work permits from earlier years show as expired. The property has seen improvements in safety compliance over time, as evidenced by the resolution of multiple health and safety violations, including those related to gas shutoff tools, fire protection, and security requirements. The most recent fire code violation issued in October 2024 suggests ongoing monitoring of safety compliance is required, though specific details about the nature of this violation are not provided in the records.

Risk rating

How 57-61 Mccoppin 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

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 (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

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 45.7%
Moderate concern 19.0%
Severe concern 35.4%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
