Initial analysis

The three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 867-871 Hayes Street in Alamo Square, owned by Chanda Faheem, has undergone several significant maintenance and renovation projects in recent years, most notably in 2020-2022. Major structural work included voluntary lateral upgrades and foundation repairs in 2020 (costing $30,000 and $25,000 respectively), followed by kitchen and bathroom remodeling that same year (approximately $36,000). The building experienced some maintenance issues in 2023, with an active complaint filed in July regarding unsafe construction practices, including concrete jackhammering of balcony supports and improper storage of construction materials. This raised safety concerns came after a pattern of renovation-related complaints between 2020-2022, including allegations of unpermitted work that led to an active violation in 2020 regarding unauthorized bathroom and kitchen renovations.

The property's maintenance history shows periodic attention to essential systems, including window replacements on the ground floor in 2022 ($10,000) and electrical upgrades in 2021. Several building violations from 2008-2009 were successfully abated, including issues with garbage receptacle placement and handrail requirements. Between 2018 and 2024, the building has been the subject of multiple 311 calls primarily related to noise concerns, construction activities, and surface maintenance issues, though most have been resolved through appropriate channels. The building's permit history suggests regular maintenance and upgrading of building systems, though recent renovation-related complaints indicate potential lapses in following proper permit procedures.

Risk rating

How 867-871 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.
