Initial analysis

431 Connecticut Street is a two-unit multi-family residential building located in Potrero Hill, constructed in 1912 and currently owned by the Elizabeth Neira Family Revocable Trust. The property is undergoing significant renovations as evidenced by an active permit filed in November 2022, indicating a comprehensive reconfiguration of both units, including infills, bedroom and bathroom reconfigurations, and window replacements, with an estimated cost of $700,000. The building's recent history shows attention to infrastructure, with a completed sewer repair in April 2013, though this followed a sewage backup incident reported in February 2012.

The property has experienced several maintenance and safety-related issues over its history, including a complaint in 2018 regarding uncontained paint stripping work and a temporary fire safety violation in 1995 concerning garage ceiling materials, though both these matters were promptly addressed. Recent 311 calls between 2012 and 2024 have primarily focused on exterior issues such as sidewalk obstruction, hazardous materials, and parking violations, all of which have been resolved through appropriate channels. The most recent activity includes two 311 calls in March 2024 regarding sidewalk clearance and travel path maintenance, with one being closed as a shared spaces violation while the other was deemed invalid for enforcement. The building's planning record confirms the extensive renovations currently underway, which aim to modernize and improve both units while addressing historical code compliance issues.

Risk rating

How 431 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, 15 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.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 85.0%
Moderate concern 12.7%
Severe concern 2.3%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
