Initial analysis

The 2-story, 3-unit apartment building at 426 Arkansas Street in Potrero Hill, owned by Anthony H. Santucci, was constructed in 1977 and has undergone several noteworthy changes and maintenance events over the past two decades. The most significant incident occurred in 2014, when the building suffered water damage affecting all units, requiring comprehensive repairs to insulation, drywall, flooring, and complete system detachments and resets in all three units, alongside a kitchen remodel in Unit 2. This water damage incident prompted repairs to electrical systems, plumbing fixtures, and the kitchen, which including the installation of new sinks, disposals, and extensive electrical work. The building's maintenance record shows regular upkeep, including a 2019 reroofing project costing over $20,000, replacement of damaged garage doors and windows in 2013, and earlier repairs to rear stairs in 2004.

The property has had its share of regulatory scrutiny, most notably in 2004 when multiple violations were issued regarding safety concerns including smoke detector requirements, stair repairs, and fire extinguisher maintenance. These violations, along with others related to building permits, were all abated by 2016. Prior to these issues, there was a significant effort in 2000-2002 to remove an illegal basement unit and associated wet bar/bathroom facilities. Recent matters include a tree-related property damage complaint from September 2023, which remains open, and a resolved callback regarding tree condition in December 2023. The building's history shows consistent attention to maintenance and compliance, though there have been periodic water-related issues, with the most recent complaint about water intrusion and mold documented in 2018.

Risk rating

How 426 Arkansas 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.

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.
