Initial analysis

The two-unit, one-story multi-family residential building at 607 Arkansas Street in Potrero Hill, owned by the James Dunlap Living Trust, has undergone significant recent improvements since 2022. Most notably, the property has seen comprehensive renovation work including kitchen upgrades ($90,000), bathroom remodeling, and infrastructure improvements such as a complete reroofing in 2022 ($20,000), and the installation of a 6.375 kW solar system with 15 PV modules in 2022. The electrical system has received particular attention, with a 200A main service panel upgrade in 2023 followed by a sub-panel installation and rewire in late 2023. Plumbing upgrades have been completed, including work on the kitchen, laundry, and bathroom facilities. A recent permit filed in May 2023 indicates ongoing bathroom renovation work involving the relocation of the bathtub/shower.

Historical records from January 2001 reveal a period of notable maintenance issues that have since been resolved, including problems with heating systems, mold/mildew, inadequate lighting, water damage, security violations, and lead paint concerns. These violations were all abated by February 8, 2001, including the installation of required smoke detectors. Since that time, there have been no further building violations recorded. The property has been subject to multiple 311 calls regarding abandoned vehicles in the vicinity between 2018 and 2024, though these are external to the building itself and relate to street parking issues. Recent shared space complaints in March 2024 suggest some ongoing neighborhood activity, but these are not directly related to building conditions. The extensive recent renovations and lack of any building code violations over the past two decades suggest improved conditions, though prospective tenants should be aware of the building's age (1900) and historical lead paint concerns, now addressed.

Risk rating

How 607 Arkansas 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
91th percentile

Out of 726 buildings in this neighborhood, 65 are predicted to be safer.

Building age
