Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 700 San Bruno Avenue in Potrero Hill, owned by the Yuhum Digdigan Trust, was constructed in 1970 and has a two-story flats and duplex configuration. The property has a complex history regarding unit legalization and building modifications, with several permit applications between 1989 and 2017 attempting to address unauthorized units and improve the building's compliance with code requirements. Notably, in 2017, there were attempts (both under Permit #201705126446 and #201708185233, which were ultimately cancelled) to join two illegal units into one legal unit with two bedrooms and two baths, though both permits were cancelled. A complaint filed in September 2016 (Case #201636402) regarding an unpermitted addition to the rear stairs was subsequently addressed in November 2016 with the construction of a 4'x4' roof shade to prevent water pooling, which was completed under Permit #201611162899. Earlier, in 1989, there had been efforts to legalize existing three units, which were cancelled.

The building has experienced some noted maintenance issues over the years, including a roof-related incident in 1992 (permit expired) and various facade and balcony repairs in 1987 (permit expired). Two fire-related complaints were filed in 2015 regarding combustible materials, but both were determined to have no merit. The property has generated multiple 311 calls between 2018 and 2024, primarily related to street cleaning and hazardous materials on the sidewalk (specifically glass), though these incidents occurred in the public space rather than the building itself. There have been two documented instances of vehicles blocking driveways in 2021, both of which resulted in citations, and one report of an abandoned vehicle in 2018.

Risk rating

How 700 San Bruno Ave'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
87th percentile

Out of 726 buildings in this neighborhood, 94 are predicted to be safer.
