Initial analysis

The property at 606 Pennsylvania Avenue is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in Potrero Hill, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by the Raya Foreman Revocable Living Trust. The building has undergone several significant renovations and maintenance work over the past few decades, with the most recent major activity being a roofing project completed in December 2024 costing $19,000. A substantial basement renovation occurred in 2015, converting the space into a family room, bedroom, and half bath, accompanied by various infrastructure upgrades including a new central heating system, half bathroom construction, laundry facilities, gas line installation, and two tankless water heaters.

The property has maintained a proactive approach to maintenance and upgrades, including foundation work in 2005, siding replacement (2014), and window upgrades (2013). There were some construction-related issues in 2013-2014, including a violation for exceeding scope of work regarding the front deck and stairs replacement, and a complaint about unpermitted construction at the back of the building, though these matters have since been resolved. Recent 311 calls primarily relate to street cleaning and sidewalk maintenance, with documented issues of loose garbage and a collapsed sidewalk in 2021. The building's infrastructure improvements have included electrical system upgrades such as a new 200-amp service and meter installation in 2015, and the property has maintained compliance with permit requirements since resolving the 2013 violations.

Risk rating

How 606 Pennsylvania Ave'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
56th percentile

Out of 726 buildings in this neighborhood, 319 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.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 83.3%
Moderate concern 12.2%
Severe concern 4.6%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
