Initial analysis

The three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 958-962 Hayes Street in Alamo Square, owned by Jonathan S Horn, is a 1900 vintage structure that has undergone significant renovations in recent history. In 2008, major improvements were made including window replacements, door installations, skylights, kitchen and bathroom remodels, and the demolition of an exterior stair structure at the rear of the property, with associated plumbing and electrical work completing similar upgrades to two bathrooms and two kitchens, along with new electrical systems including subpanels, wiring, lighting, and ventilation. The building had a serious incident in 7899 when electrical wiring/equipment problems were reported, though no civilian injuries were recorded.

The property has a history of fire safety concerns, with multiple violations documented in April 2003 regarding fire extinguishers and fireproofing materials, though all were promptly addressed by July 2003. Three routine safety inspections were conducted between 2003 and 2012, with no ongoing issues noted. Recent maintenance records show attention to basic infrastructure, including a sewer line replacement in 2008 and a complete reroofing project in 1993. The vicinity has experienced various urban maintenance issues as documented in recent 311 calls throughout 2022-2024, primarily relating to street cleaning, graffiti removal, and waste management, though these are external to the building's direct conditions. The most recent documented interaction with the property was a street space permit issued in 2008, with no active building violations or complaints currently on record.

Risk rating

How 958-962 Hayes 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 305 buildings in this neighborhood, 88 are predicted to be safer.

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.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Building age

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

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 61.0%
Moderate concern 21.3%
Severe concern 17.7%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
