Initial analysis

The 6-unit multi-family residential building at 17-27 Godeus Street in Bernal Heights, owned by Damiano & Cheryl Ruggiero T, has undergone several significant improvements and faced multiple challenges since its construction in 1914. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft story retrofit in 2016, categorized as Tier 3, which included extensive work with an original cost of $75,000 to improve seismic safety. The building has current active violations from a November 2022 health and safety inspection that require attention to several critical systems, including structural maintenance, garage ventilation, fire safety systems (particularly around garbage receptacles), roof weatherproofing, and smoke detector installations.

Recent maintenance work includes a completed penthouse reroofing project from February 2023 costing $4,500. Historical improvements show attention to building upkeep, with 64 window replacements completed in 2004 and termite repairs addressed in 1994. The property has undergone regular routine inspections by Housing Inspection Services between 1997 and 2008, though recent findings suggest persistent maintenance needs. While there have been various street-level service requests recorded through 311 calls between 2014 and 2024, including reports of waste and graffiti, these typically pertain to building surroundings rather than the structure itself. The building's documented history shows a pattern of addressing major structural requirements, though the recent active violations indicate ongoing concerns that potentially affect resident safety and comfort.

Risk rating

How 17-27 Godeus 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.
