Initial analysis

71 Curtis Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1925, currently owned by Richard M. Stewart and Arizala. The property underwent significant renovations and improvements between 2015-2019, primarily focusing on legalizing an undocumented unit and addressing various safety violations. Notable improvements included the replacement of five front façade windows, kitchen and bathroom remodels, electrical system upgrades (including installation of a 200-amp main service), and plumbing updates (including new water heaters and furnace). The building's conversion from a single-family to a two-unit dwelling was formalized through various permits in 2016-2017, following multiple housing code violations documented in 2011-2012 regarding unauthorized unit modifications, ungrounded electrical systems, and inadequate life safety features.

More recent history shows ongoing maintenance and compliance efforts, with the most recent permits in 2019 focused on obtaining final inspections for previous work. The building has experienced recurring issues with basic services and maintenance, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in 2024 regarding sidewalk blockage, garbage, and sewage discharge. Earlier complaints between 2011-2015 highlighted various safety and maintenance concerns, including issues with stairs, heating systems, and water service, though these were subsequently addressed through the permit process. The property has no active violations or open complaints as of the latest records, and all major building violations were abated by April 2019. While there have been some recent infrastructure maintenance concerns as indicated by 311 calls in 2024, these appear to be routine municipal service issues rather than building-specific deficiencies.

Risk rating

How 71 Curtis 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

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 74.3%
Moderate concern 12.8%
Severe concern 12.9%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
