Initial analysis

The two-story, multi-family residential building at 565-567 Natoma Street in the South of Market neighborhood, owned by the Leffers Trust, was originally constructed in 1911 and contains four apartment units. The property has undergone significant improvements in recent years, most notably a major renovation project initiated in September 2020 that included basement renovation and the addition of a new unit (565B Natoma) with two bedrooms and two bathrooms, along with utility and laundry relocations and water heater replacement, at a cost of $150,000. This followed a smaller bathroom remodel in May 2020 costing $12,000, and represents the building's first unit addition to increase its total from four to five units.

The building's history includes several concerning maintenance violations, particularly a cluster of issues documented in May 2010, including problems with heating systems, water heater temperatures, fire safety equipment, and security features, though all these violations were abated by June 4, 2010. Earlier improvements from 2000 included substantial seismic work and remodeling of lower bathrooms and kitchens. Recent activity at the property has been primarily related to external issues, with multiple parking-related complaints and some sanitation concerns noted through 311 calls in 2024, though these do not directly impact building safety or habitability. The most recent recorded fire incident was a false alarm with no injuries, and several routine safety inspections were conducted in previous years, with no significant findings noted. A planning application was submitted to establish one additional dwelling unit on the ground floor, which appears to be related to the 2020 renovation work.

Risk rating

How 565-567 Natoma 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.
