Initial analysis

The 273-275 Sussex Street property in Glen Park is a two-story, two-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1931, currently owned by the Hemmings Welsh Family Living Trust. The building has undergone significant renovations and improvements over the past decade, with major work completed between 2014-2019 including interior reconfigurations, kitchen and bathroom remodels, and the addition of modern amenities such as radiant heating on both floors, gas fireplaces, and a solar power system (5.04 kW) with battery storage. Notable structural improvements were made in 2015-2016, including new siding installation, window and door replacements, and deck construction. The building's electrical system received a comprehensive upgrade in 2017, including rewiring and panel improvements.

Recent maintenance records show ongoing attention to the property's infrastructure, with roofing work completed in 2018 and various plumbing updates including bathroom remodels and dryer exhaust installations. The property has experienced multiple parking enforcement issues in the surrounding area, with ten cases of driveway blocking reported between October 2024 and December 2024, indicating potential ongoing parking challenges. A tree maintenance issue was reported in late 2024 near the property, though this appears to have been resolved. The building has maintained compliance with local regulations, though there was a cancelled application for a unit merger from two to one unit in 275 Sussex Street, suggesting previous consideration for such a modification. A tenant buyout was recorded in 2022 for 234 Sussex Street, though this address appears to be separate from the main building address under review.

Risk rating

How 273-275 Sussex 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 364 buildings in this neighborhood, 175 are predicted to be safer.
