Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 618-620 Vermont Street in Potrero Hill, managed by A Sustarich Lvg Tr, is a 1926 flats and duplex structure spanning two stories. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past two decades, with the most recent major infrastructure work being a sewer and house trap replacement completed in April 2020. In 2006, substantial renovations were carried out including comprehensive electrical upgrades (installation of new panels and complete rewiring), plumbing fixture replacements, kitchen cabinetry work, and multiple light fixture installations throughout both units, with permits indicating costs exceeding $25,000 for these improvements alone. Other notable improvements from 2006 include the replacement of stairs in the right side lightwell. The building's roof was addressed in 2007, though records show these permits expired without noting completion status.

The property has faced some concerns in recent years, most prominently a vacant building complaint filed in September 2022, though this case is currently listed as not active. There have been multiple 311 calls regarding the property's exterior maintenance, particularly concerning garbage and debris issues between 2018 and 2024, with the most recent reports in July 2024. Parking-related complaints have also been documented, including reports of driveway blocking and sidewalk parking between 2019-2023, though these cases were generally resolved promptly. While these exterior maintenance issues and the vacant building complaint are worth noting, the property has maintained up-to-date infrastructure systems through regular upgrades, as evidenced by the electrical and plumbing improvements. The building's documented history reveals no serious safety violations or habitability issues, with all major systems having received appropriate attention through permitted work.

Risk rating

How 618-620 Vermont 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.
