Initial analysis

The property at 948-950 Minnesota Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1906, currently owned by Philip H. Schwartz and Budinge. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the past decades, with the most recent being a comprehensive re-roofing project completed in March 2024 costing $34,500 and an electrical service upgrade to 200 amperes completed in August 2024. Previous improvements include window replacements in 2015, interior stair and door repairs in 2001, and a top-floor remodeling project in 1995. Notably, there was one building complaint filed in 2008 regarding exterior painting without proper containment, but this issue was promptly addressed the following day.

Recent activity around the property has generated several 311 calls between 2020 and 2024, primarily related to garbage and debris on public areas near the property, though these are external to the building itself. There have been two noise-related reports in 2024 - one concerning construction noise and another regarding delivery service noise - as well as a mechanical equipment noise report in 2021 that was directed to SFPD. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, with no recorded fire incidents or civilian injuries, and only one water-related incident in 2014 that was resolved. The property appears to be actively maintained, with the most recent permits demonstrating ongoing investment in infrastructure improvements.

Risk rating

How 948-950 Minnesota 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.
