Initial analysis

The 12-unit multi-family residential building at 677 Oak Street in Hayes Valley, owned by the Khavul Family 2000 Revocable Trust, has undergone numerous repairs and upgrades since its construction in 1923. Recent maintenance includes a roofing project completed in 2020 costing $30,000, and there have been significant seismic upgrades performed in 2004 with moment frames and grade beams installed. The building has experienced recurring issues with unit #12, particularly regarding plumbing problems, with multiple complaints documented in 2016 about water leaking from the unit affecting common areas and neighboring properties. More recent concerns include fire safety violations from May 2023 regarding extinguishers and alarm systems, though these were marked as corrected. The building has a history of electrical upgrades, with a major renovation of units 8 and 11 completed in 2008 including new wiring, lighting, and receptacles. Various fire safety incidents have been recorded, all with no civilian injuries reported, primarily involving detector activations and CO incidents, though there were notable fire safety violations in 2016-2017 regarding alarms and exits that have since been abated.

The property has undergone several significant improvements to individual units, including the installation of furnaces replacing boilers in multiple units in 2013, and voluntary seismic upgrades in 2004. Historical records show the building experienced a series of violations in 2002 related to security and safety requirements, including issues with stairs, doors, and alarms, which were abated by late 2003. Periodic maintenance work has included various interior remodels and system upgrades, particularly focusing on electrical improvements and unit modernization. Recent records from 2023 show multiple complaints about the building's fire safety systems and a possible issue with historical temporary tenants in unit #12, while several 311 calls in 2024 have primarily concerned parking violations near the property. The building's maintenance history demonstrates ongoing investment in infrastructure improvements, though periodic issues with building systems, particularly plumbing, have persisted over the years.

Risk rating

How 677 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
36th percentile

Out of 1027 buildings in this neighborhood, 657 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.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

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 33.5%
Moderate concern 55.2%
Severe concern 11.3%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
