Initial analysis

The 12-unit, 3-story apartment building at 560-564 Hayes Street in Hayes Valley, built in 1900 and currently owned by Hayes Valley Properties LLC, has significant ongoing safety concerns. Most critically, the building is currently listed as Non-Compliant in the mandatory Soft Story Retrofit program (Tier 4), with permit #202009234857 for commercial elements and #202009234855 for residential components having expired without proper completion in 2020. This represents a direct violation of San Francisco's earthquake safety requirements. The building has experienced recurring fire safety issues, with recent violations in December 2022 and December 2023 regarding alarm systems and exits/fire escapes, though these were subsequently abated. A concerning pattern of building safety and maintenance issues is evident, including a 2023 common areas complaint currently under review, and a 2024 complaint regarding unstarted soft story retrofit work. Historical violations from 2002 included problems with windows, walls, and security that were eventually resolved.

The property's maintenance history includes various improvements and repairs, such as a 2019 fire system replacement and attempts at soft story retrofitting in 2020 (though ultimately incomplete), a 2015 unit remodeling project, and electrical upgrades from 40A to 100A in 2003. Multiple fire code violations have been documented over the years, particularly regarding alarm systems, with the most recent violation issued in December 2023. The building's address has also been associated with various neighborhood cleanliness issues in recent months, as evidenced by 311 calls for garbage, debris, and graffiti between 2023-2024, though these are external rather than building-specific concerns. While some historical issues have been resolved, the most pressing concerns relate to the building's current non-compliance with seismic retrofit requirements and recurring fire safety violations, which merit particular attention from both regulatory and tenant safety perspectives.

Risk rating

How 560-564 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.
