Initial analysis

The two-unit multi-family residential building at 771-773 Rhode Island Street in Potrero Hill, owned by Daitaroh Akiyama Revoc Tr, has undergone several significant renovations since 2010, transforming it from a standard duplex into a modernized property. In 2010, a major renovation was completed at a cost of $600,000, which included adding a bay window, interior remodeling, raising the second-floor ceiling, adding a rear deck, and constructing a partial third-floor master suite with roof addition. This project also involved comprehensive window replacement and updating both units, with proposed plans initially reviewed by Hood Thomas Architects. Subsequent improvements included the installation of a solar panel system (3.17 kW) in May 2011, complete rewiring of the house, furnace replacement, and heating system upgrades.

The building has received attention to structural and safety elements, with more recent work focusing on foundation support with a new retaining wall installation in 2015 (cost $28,000) and the addition of a sump pump for subsurface drainage. The property has undergone regular maintenance and updates to its amenities, including the installation of two shower pans (2011), a gas fireplace (2011), and various plumbing and electrical improvements. The building's records show responsible maintenance and upgrading of both units, with all permitted work completed to code requirements and no recorded building code violations. Notable recent foundation work involved underpinning at the southeast corner of the basement, though this was accompanied by appropriate permits and inspections. The original address confusion was resolved in 2010, clarifying the correct unit designations for 771 and 773 Rhode Island Street.

Risk rating

How 771-773 Rhode Island 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
