Initial analysis

The property at 1027 Hayes Street is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building located in Alamo Square, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by the Spjut Robert J 2003 Trust. The building has undergone significant renovations and improvements over the past decade, with the most recent major work being a partial renovation of unit #1 and full renovations of units #2 and #3, along with plans for excavation to create two new stories below grade and install an elevator, filed in August 2023. Completed improvements include window and door replacements in 2018 (including bay windows and rear entry door), a kitchen remodel in unit #3 (2018), and a bathroom/laundry remodel in a second-floor front unit (2014). The building's infrastructure has seen systematic upgrades, including a complete re-roofing project in 2024 costing $32,000, electrical rewiring (2019), plumbing system upgrades, and the installation of a natural gas fireplace (2018).

The building's maintenance record shows attention to both interior and exterior upkeep, with multiple street space permits issued between 2012-2019 indicating regular use of public space for renovations. Notably, there was a plumbing violation in 2006 regarding a leaking building drain, which was promptly addressed within months. Routine safety inspections by Housing Inspection Services were conducted in 2002, 2009, 2012, and 2018, with no active violations remaining on record. The property has experienced recurring issues with street maintenance as evidenced by multiple 311 calls between 2018-2025, primarily related to general cleaning and waste management on the street, though these are not directly related to the building's condition or management. Recent planning records indicate ongoing substantial development plans for the property, including significant excavation work and major infrastructure improvements, which have received the necessary approvals and permits.

Risk rating

How 1027 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.
