Initial analysis

The three-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 2612 20th Street in the Inner Mission, owned by Newen Potrero LLC, has undergone several significant maintenance and repair projects since its construction in 1924. The most recent issues include a 2024 complaint about unauthorized construction work and a 2023 complaint regarding an unpermitted drainage pipe installation, as well as damage to the garage from a vehicle collision in early 2023 that required framing repairs and stucco replacement. The property experienced notable violations in early 2011, including problems with stairs, heating systems, lighting, and general interior conditions, though these were all abated by June 2011 through various repairs, including stair repairs and the installation of a central heating system.

The building has seen consistent maintenance and improvements over the years, with substantial renovations completed in 2011 including kitchen and bathroom remodeling, window replacements, and plumbing upgrades such as house trap and sewer replacement in 2022. Earlier improvements include stair repairs in 2021, multiple plumbing updates including water heater replacements in 2011, and various interior renovation projects between 2007-2008 involving tiling, painting, and cabinet installations. Recent concerns have primarily focused on unauthorized modifications and maintenance compliance, as evidenced by the 2024 complaint about unpermitted construction work and the 2023 drainage pipe installation issue. The property has generated several 311 calls in 2024, primarily related to parking enforcement and public space concerns, though these are not directly related to building conditions.

Risk rating

How 2612 20Th 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 2380 buildings in this neighborhood, 1023 are predicted to be safer.
