Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 507 Connecticut Street in Potrero Hill is a 2-story flats and duplex structure built in 1912, currently owned by the Catherine I Pavloff 2007 Trust. The property has a notable recent history of plumbing issues, with a sewer lateral replacement permit issued in February 2024, and a sewage backup incident in February 2024 that required PUC Sewer Operations intervention and was subsequently resolved. There are two open sidewalk-related concerns as of 2024, including an accepted report of tree root-lifted sidewalk from August 2024 and another sidewalk defect reported in February 2020. The building's permit history shows compliance with CHRP & HILP specifications as of April 1985, though this is significantly dated compared to more recent issues.

The property has experienced various municipal service interactions over the past five years. Between 2020 and 2024, there have been multiple reports of street and sidewalk cleaning needs, including three instances of loose garbage that were resolved by Recology or DPW. Two parking-related incidents were reported, including a sidewalk parking complaint in April 2018 and a similar issue in November 2024, both cases where enforcement officers were unable to locate the vehicles in question. In June 2019, there were two temporary sign requests for events on July 4th, though these requests were not accepted. The building's location has required regular attention to both street cleaning and sidewalk maintenance, with approximately four sidewalk-related reports (two open cases and one completed) documented in the past four years.

Risk rating

How 507 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.

Neighborhood percentile

Out of 726 buildings in this neighborhood, 261 are predicted to be safer.
