Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 750 Oak Street in Hayes Valley, owned by John R. Gall and Beve Anderson, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1900. The property has undergone several significant structural and safety improvements over the years, most notably in 2005 with attempts at foundation replacement and garage reconfiguration valued at $120,000, though this permit ultimately expired. Major renovations occurred in 2007, including electrical rewiring of the garage and half-bath, plumbing updates including water heater relocation and sewer replacement, and the installation of an automatic garage door opener. The building has experienced recurring safety and maintenance issues, particularly regarding handrails and weatherproofing. A series of violations in 2009 documented problems including the need for handrails, weatherproofing repairs, and concerns about lead paint hazards. The most recent handrail-related issues were addressed in 2020, following complaints in 2016 and 2012.

Recent maintenance work includes a 2022 back deck repair costing $1,500, though there was a complaint about loud construction during this period. The building experienced a gas leak incident (412 Gas leak - natural gas or LPG) at an unspecified date with no civilian injuries reported. In 2005-2006, the property faced significant structural concerns including a failing retaining wall and various building code violations that were eventually resolved. The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to safety concerns, though some permits (including those from 2005 and 1987) expired without completion. Recent activity at the property has primarily involved driveway access issues, with multiple parking enforcement calls recorded between early 2024 and mid-2024, though many of these could not be validated upon officer response.

Risk rating

How 750 Oak 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, 349 are predicted to be safer.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.
