Initial analysis

The 5-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 606 Oak St in Hayes Valley, built in 1900 and owned by George T Priola, has undergone significant safety and infrastructure improvements over the past two decades. Most notably, the building completed its mandatory seismic retrofit as a Tier 3 soft-story structure between 2017-2022, with the final Certificate of Final Completion issued in 2022. Recent improvements include the 2022 installation of backflow devices and relocation of water heaters, as well as comprehensive fire safety upgrades in 2019 that included a new fire alarm system with low-frequency horns. The building has maintained active compliance with safety inspections, addressing issues such as window replacements, stucco work, and water system upgrades, though there were some notable violations in 2003-2010 related to fire safety equipment and general maintenance, all of which were subsequently resolved.

Recent resident concerns have primarily involved parking issues and minor maintenance matters. There have been multiple parking enforcement calls between 2023-2024 regarding blocked driveways, and some cases of graffiti and waste management issues were reported in 2023. The building's most recent inspection history shows regular compliance with fire safety requirements, with the most recent routine safety inspection in 2019. The property has maintained active permits for ongoing improvements, though there have been some instances of permits expiring before final inspections, necessitating renewals in 2010-2022, particularly for electrical and plumbing systems. All known safety and maintenance issues have been addressed through appropriate permits and inspections, demonstrating a commitment to building safety and resident well-being.

Risk rating

How 606 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, 709 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.

DBI tenant complaints (past 7 years)

Formal complaints tenants filed with DBI about this building over 7 years.

Building age

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 54.9%
Moderate concern 27.3%
Severe concern 17.7%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
