Initial analysis

The property at 125-127 Connecticut Street in Potrero Hill is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1915, currently owned by Balderama-pasion May. The building has undergone several significant renovations and maintenance work over the past decades, with the most recent major works including a furnace installation in 2021 and water heater replacement in 2015. In 2012, substantial remodeling work was performed on the third-floor flat, including kitchen and bathroom updates, along with electrical and plumbing improvements. Historical records show attention to structural elements, with rear deck and stair repairs completed in 2002 and multiple unit renovations between 1997-1998.

Of particular concern is a cluster of fire safety issues recorded in December 2016, including violations for blocked exits and combustible materials, followed by multiple fire code violations in February 2020. While these issues were addressed and abated, they indicate a period of fire safety non-compliance. More recently, in December 2023, there was a sewer vent issue that required attention. The building has experienced recurring maintenance needs in its immediate vicinity, with recent 311 calls (2023-2024) reporting sidewalk defects, drainage issues, and various cleaning and graffiti concerns. A cancelled 2013 permit application for converting a storage room to a laundry room with bathroom and staircase suggests this planned improvement was not completed. The property's maintenance history shows regular updating of systems and features, though the frequency of repairs and improvements may indicate ongoing maintenance needs typical of older structures.

Risk rating

How 125-127 Connecticut 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
72th percentile

Out of 726 buildings in this neighborhood, 203 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.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 73.7%
Moderate concern 20.5%
Severe concern 5.7%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
