Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 646-650 Laguna Street in Hayes Valley, owned by Robert Colin Macphee, is a three-story structure built in 1900. The building's maintenance record shows a significant re-roofing project completed in 2018 at a cost of $27,250, while earlier records indicate foundation repairs and ADA compliance work were attempted in 1999, though those permits eventually expired. The property has experienced multiple fire-related incidents over the years, including a building fire and outside rubbish fire, both of which were intentionally set but fortunately resulted in no civilian injuries. Other concerning incidents include two cooking-related fires (both contained), a gasoline spill, and several motor vehicle accidents near the property, though most of these incidents occurred at least a decade ago.

Recent activity around the building from early 2025 has primarily consisted of street maintenance issues, including multiple reports of garbage and debris, illegal postings, and a graffiti incident involving a bike rack. Some of these issues, such as exposed pole wires and street lighting concerns, have been determined to be outside the jurisdiction of city services. The building's utility infrastructure is currently being upgraded through an approved installation of T-Mobile wireless equipment on an existing utility pole. While the property has experienced various maintenance and incident issues over the years, the most recent records show ongoing environmental and street maintenance challenges rather than any immediate building-specific problems.

Risk rating

How 646-650 Laguna 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 1027 buildings in this neighborhood, 472 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.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

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 46.1%
Moderate concern 19.1%
Severe concern 34.8%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
