Initial analysis

The 12-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 201 Connecticut St in Potrero Hill, owned by Susan Baldini, has a complex history marked by several significant issues and recent concerns. Built in 1900, the building underwent major modifications in 2016 when suites #6 and #7 were merged into one apartment, with associated kitchen modifications and electrical work totaling $50,000, though this work has generated ongoing compliance questions. Recent exploratory work (August 2023) was conducted on Unit #7 to investigate framing orientation, costing $5,000, but records indicate permits may not have been properly inspected or closed, leading to current active complaints.

The building currently faces multiple active violations as of 2023-2024, including issues with heating, hot water, sink repairs, and window hardware that were originally documented in 2019 but appear to remain unresolved. More recent complaints from October 2023 highlight concerns about fire safety compliance, including issues with fire extinguishers, alarm systems, and a lack of proper gas utility shutoff tools. Historical records reveal patterns of maintenance and compliance challenges, with permits from as far back as 1986 showing work related to code corrections, kitchen and bathroom renovations, and other improvements. The property has experienced recurring fire alarm system issues, though these have been typically addressed promptly, as evidenced by corrected complaints in 2016, 2018, 2022, and 2023. A notable 2023 complaint alleges ongoing concerns about permit inspections not being recorded for multiple permits, discrepancies in unit count, and unlisted accessory dwelling unit (ADU) issues. The building has also documented problems with heat and hot water systems in 2019, and concerns about an alleged illegal attic unit, water intrusion during rain, and drainage issues.

Risk rating

How 201 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

Out of 726 buildings in this neighborhood, 704 are predicted to be safer.
