Initial analysis

The 1101 Connecticut Street property in Potrero Hill, currently owned by Potrero Housing Associates, is a multi-family residential building classified as an apartment with 15 or more units. The building has experienced several significant events in recent years, most notably a kitchen fire in apartment 412 in October 2022 that caused moderate damage to the unit and adjacent hallways, requiring repairs completed in early 2023 at a cost of $65,000. The building has undergone various infrastructure improvements, including the installation of two new domestic hot water boilers in 2019, a solar hot water system in 2017, and electrical system upgrades including a 200-amp service installation in 2020.

Recent tenant complaints indicate ongoing maintenance issues, particularly in 2023, with reports of delayed repairs in unit 204 involving plumbing fixtures and general maintenance concerns. The building has faced several compliance challenges, including multiple boiler permit violations between 2020-2021, and a current active fire complaint regarding alarm system maintenance as of 2022. Plumbing issues have been a recurring theme, with documented repairs needed for an underground sewer line in 2022, and past instances of unusual toilet behavior (bubbling white foam) reported in 2022. The property has also experienced security concerns, particularly regarding a malfunctioning garage door in 2022 that reportedly allowed unauthorized access to the building. While the building has had multiple fire alarm activations and system malfunctions recorded, there have been no reported civilian injuries in connection with these incidents.

Risk rating

How 1101 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

Lower risk — safer than most nearby

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Typical — about average for the neighborhood

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Higher risk — riskier than most nearby

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
0thpercentile

Out of 726 buildings in this neighborhood, 726 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.
