Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1357 Utah Street in the Inner Mission, owned by Scott and Yolanda Davis, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues since its construction in 1962. The most recent major infrastructure work occurred in August 2023, when the building underwent an important electrical upgrade, replacing hazardous Federal Pacific panels with safer Cutler-Hammer (Eaton) systems and implementing new grounding and bonding systems. This followed a documented history of electrical concerns, as evidenced by a 2000 complaint about bad electrical outlets. The building has a documented history of maintenance violations in the 1990s, including a 1994 Housing Inspection Services complaint about mold, mildew, and heating problems, though many of these issues were addressed with permits in 1995. More recent concerns have primarily focused on the building's immediate surroundings, with multiple reports between 2020-2024 regarding sidewalk cleaning, blocked sidewalks, and waste issues, though these are external to the building itself.

The property's history includes several concerning habitability issues in the 1990s, such as a complaint in 1994 about rotting stairs and deck, plumbing leaks, and potential illegal unit concerns, as well as multiple reports of heating problems and mildew. While these historical maintenance issues were addressed through various permits and inspections, including a permit from 1995 to convert an illegal unit back to storage, the building's recent electrical panel upgrade in 2023 suggests ongoing infrastructure maintenance continues to be necessary. The most recent complaint from April 2024 regarding offensive graffiti on the building remains open as of now, marking the first recorded exterior maintenance issue in recent years. While the building has shown improvements in recent years with the electrical system upgrade, the historical record indicates careful monitoring of both building systems and surrounding area conditions is warranted.

Risk rating

How 1357 Utah 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 2380 buildings in this neighborhood, 762 are predicted to be safer.
