Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 2633-2635 20th Street in the Inner Mission, constructed in 1907, has undergone several significant improvements over recent years, with particular attention to modernization and structural integrity. Most notably, in 2023, the property received substantial infrastructure upgrades including voluntary foundation work costing $148,400, complete sewer pipe replacement in the basement, and a 200-amp electrical system upgrade with new sub-panels. The building has also seen the installation of multiple solar photovoltaic systems, with the most recent permits issued in early 2024 for systems ranging from 3.44 to 4.32 kW, demonstrating a commitment to sustainable energy.

The property has maintained consistent upkeep through the years, with major renovations completed in 2011 including exterior stair replacement, interior remodeling of kitchens and laundry areas on multiple floors, and facade improvements. Earlier improvements from the early 2000s included bathroom renovations, reroofing work, and structural strengthening with the installation of anchor bolts. The building's maintenance record shows regular attention to both aesthetic and functional elements, though there have been some recent environmental challenges in the surrounding area, including a currently open sidewalk defect related to tree roots (as of November 2024). The property has experienced minimal reported issues, with only two instances of graffiti on the building in 2023 and multiple street cleaning matters in the vicinity, all of which were promptly addressed and resolved.

Risk rating

How 2633-2635 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, 119 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 84.5%
Moderate concern 13.0%
Severe concern 2.4%
