Initial analysis

The three-story, 9-unit multi-family residential building at 55-63 Woodward Street in the Inner Mission, owned by Neha Upadhyay, was constructed in 1907 and has undergone several significant renovations and improvements over the past two decades. Most recently, in 2022, the building received a $17,000 reroofing project and had fire safety inspections in 2023 that resulted in one "condition corrected" notice for extinguishers. The building completed mandatory soft-story seismic upgrades in 2018, installing new shearwalls and concrete walls at a cost of $50,000, and underwent comprehensive electrical system improvements in 2004 with a $200,000 upgrade to 400-amp service and new circuitry for all units.

The building's maintenance history shows proactive management, with major works including window replacements, front siding repairs in 2012 ($25,000), sewer line repairs in 2019, and HVAC upgrades. While there were multiple building violations and complaints in the early 2000s related to sanitation, security, and unit maintenance issues, these were all resolved by 2008. Recent 311 calls primarily concerned street cleaning and sidewalk maintenance, rather than building-specific issues. A tenant buyout was recorded at unit 61 in 2020 for $36,385 involving two tenants. The building's fire safety record shows several inspections with no-merit findings or conditions corrected, though there have been recurring fire extinguisher complaints across different years, suggesting ongoing attention to fire safety equipment maintenance.

Risk rating

How 55-63 Woodward 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.
