Initial analysis

The 2-unit residential building at 461-463 Goettingen Street, built in 1926, has undergone significant renovations and experienced various maintenance issues in recent years. In 2013, major improvements were carried out on both units, including extensive bathroom and kitchen remodels, installation of new furnaces and water heaters, and a comprehensive electrical service upgrade that added new circuits, lighting, and safety features. A solar PV system installation planned in 2016 was ultimately cancelled. Recent 311 calls from January 2025 indicate recurring issues with garbage and debris around the property, though these cases were generally resolved without requiring direct action. There are also two open cases regarding tree maintenance (damaged and overgrown) from January 2025.

The building has faced multiple fire safety violations over the years, with several citations issued in June 2021 for issues including problems with fire extinguishers, sprinkler service, and electrical safety. More recent violations were noted in October 2024, primarily related to alarm system maintenance, signage, and safety plan requirements. While these violations were marked as abated, their frequency suggests ongoing attention to fire safety compliance is necessary. The property underwent some administrative changes in 2013, with the addition of unit 463 officially recognized that July. The extensive 2013 renovations, documented through numerous permits, represent the most significant improvements to the building's infrastructure and living spaces, though these improvements are now over a decade old.

Risk rating

How 461-463 Goettingen 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.
