Initial analysis

Located in Alamo Square, 1185-1187 Hayes Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1925, currently owned by John G Dallas & Anne G Long. The building underwent significant interior modifications in 2003, including the installation of a gas fireplace and flat skylight, creation of a pass-through from the living room to the kitchen, and various bathroom and electrical improvements, with a total investment of approximately $8,000 in those renovations. However, a concerning issue remains unresolved from 1997, with an active plumbing complaint regarding possible building drain leakage affecting the neighboring property at 560 Scott Street.

Recent activity around the property has been more focused on external matters, particularly in late 2024, with multiple reports of street and sidewalk cleanliness issues including abandoned electronics, human waste, and furniture. There have also been several structural maintenance concerns reported, including graffiti and recreation equipment issues, though many of these cases have been resolved. As of January 2025, there are ongoing concerns with street lighting (light reportedly burnt out) and recent illegal parking incidents, while one case regarding a recreation equipment issue remains open. While the building itself appears to be maintained following the 2003 renovation period, the surrounding area has experienced frequent and varied municipal service requests, particularly related to street cleaning and maintenance.

Risk rating

How 1185-1187 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.
