AI summary

The 8-unit property at 412-422 Hayes Street in Hayes Valley is a 3-story flat and store building constructed in 1908, currently owned by Hayes Gough LLC. The building has undergone various improvements in recent years, with the most significant being commercial tenant improvements in 2022 costing $57,000, including retail case work, lighting, and electrical distribution. Multiple fire safety concerns have been documented between 2019-2023, including issues with fire extinguishers, blocked exits, and alarm systems, though most were marked as "Condition Corrected." The property has experienced several maintenance and safety challenges, with complaints about water intrusion, electrical issues, and fire safety violations. Notable historical issues include multiple violations from 2004 related to heating, painting, and fire safety, which were abated by August 2004.

The building has also faced recent scrutiny regarding its usage, with a 2023 complaint about potential unauthorized hotel use, though this was marked as "Not Active." Multiple permit applications for improvements have been processed, including electrical rewiring, plumbing updates, and commercial space renovations. A significant planning application was approved in 2023 to modify parking requirements in light of citywide changes eliminating parking mandates, though this primarily relates to off-street parking spaces rather than building parking availability. Recent fire safety inspections in 2023 noted concerns with alarm systems and sprinkler systems, but these were corrected by the end of December 2023. The property has generated multiple maintenance-related 311 calls in recent months, primarily regarding garbage and debris on the street, though these are external to the building itself.

Risk rating

How 412-422 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.
