Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 170 Page Street, located in Hayes Valley, is a 2-story flats and duplex structure built in 1890, currently owned by the Kassim Visram Revocable Living Trust. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and compliance issues over the past decades, with the most recent concerns centered around fire safety systems. In July 2023, the building was cited for violations related to alarm systems, extinguishers, and sprinklers, though these issues were subsequently abated. The building has a documented history of fire safety violations dating back to 2018 involving extinguishers, 2019 for multiple fire code violations, and 2021 for alarm systems. Earlier structural modifications included a 1992 project to modify garage and storage spaces, and in 2019, sewer repairs were completed.

Recent complaints and maintenance issues have primarily focused on the building's immediate surroundings, with multiple reports of garbage and debris on the street in 2024, some of which remain unresolved. During 2024, there were also incidents of illegal parking in the area, resulting in citations, and several graffiti incidents that were addressed by city services. The building's documented permit history shows various maintenance activities, including reroofing work in 1994 and rear stair repairs in 1986, though many older permits have since expired. The property's historical records indicate one documented tenant buyout in 2016, involving one tenant and amounting to $8,400.

Risk rating

How 170 Page 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.
