Initial analysis

The property at 772-778 Oak Street is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building located in Hayes Valley, built in 1900 and currently owned by Bryan K Eckert. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the years, with the most notable recent updates including a complete solar power system installation in 2018 (12.96 DC kW rating with 36 modules) and a reroofing project in the same year costing $31,680. The building's electrical infrastructure was substantially upgraded in 2009 with the installation of a 200-amp service with 4 meters for the apartments and additional infrastructure. Historical permits suggest the property has seen various renovations, including multiple kitchen and bathroom remodels between 1986 and 1989, though most of these permits have since expired.

The building's maintenance history shows some concerning water-related issues in the 1990s, including complaints about leaks and mold in 1996 and 1994, though these incidents were resolved according to housing inspection records. More recent routine safety inspections in 2019 and 2010 found no significant issues that required ongoing attention. The property has experienced some external maintenance challenges, particularly in 2021, with multiple reports of graffiti and illegal postings on or near the building, all of which were resolved through normal city processes. A building fire incident was recorded, though no civilian injuries were reported. Recent 311 calls from 2022-2024 primarily relate to exterior issues such as street cleaning and graffiti, rather than building-specific concerns.

Risk rating

How 772-778 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, 606 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 59.5%
Moderate concern 21.1%
Severe concern 19.4%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
