Initial analysis

The property at 630-632 Connecticut St in Potrero Hill is a three-story, two-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1986, currently owned by Gary Wood 2004 Revoc Tr. The building has experienced several significant structural and maintenance issues over the past decade, most notably concerning the retaining wall situation. In October 2020, a complaint was filed regarding a failed retaining wall that was spilling gravel and soil into the adjacent property, which was ultimately addressed and abated by June 2022 following a director hearing in May 2022. More recently, in July 2024, there have been active complaints regarding water leaks and mold issues throughout the building, as well as concerns about missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, with both complaints currently pending investigation by Housing Inspection Services.

The building's historical permit record shows several attempts to bring the structure up to code, dating back to 1988, with multiple permit renewals and revisions over the years, though all these permits have since expired. Earlier complaints from 1996 showed issues with bathroom heating and ceiling leaks, while a 2012 complaint suggested possible illegal units in the building. Recent 311 calls have primarily involved parking enforcement issues, tree maintenance, and sidewalk defects, though these are more related to general neighborhood conditions rather than building-specific problems. The property has had some infrastructure-related issues in recent years, such as a collapsed retaining wall in 2020-2022, though this was eventually addressed. Recent active complaints regarding mold and safety systems (smoke/carbon monoxide detectors) in 2024 suggest continuing maintenance challenges, though these are still under investigation.

Risk rating

How 630-632 Connecticut 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.
