Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 779-781 Oak Street in Hayes Valley, owned by the Casipe Luke G 2005 Revocable Trust, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1900. The building's maintenance history shows several exterior improvements, including a completed reroofing project in 1993 and two vinyl siding installations - one completed in 1989 covering the back and side, and another attempted (but expired) in 1996. These improvements suggest previous attention to building envelope maintenance, particularly in the late 20th century.

The property has experienced recurring issues with street and sidewalk cleanliness, particularly evident in 2023-2024, with multiple reports of loose garbage and debris, including one instance involving a mattress. While these are exterior maintenance issues affecting the immediate surroundings, they do not directly impact the building's habitability. Two taxi-related complaints were logged in 2018-2019, though one was noted as "No Merit." A fire alarm system inspection was conducted in late 2019, which was closed with "No Merit" findings, indicating no significant safety concerns were identified.

Risk rating

How 779-781 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
83th percentile

Out of 1027 buildings in this neighborhood, 175 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.

Neighborhood location

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

Building age

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

DBI complaint rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building complaint rate across the owner's portfolio.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 83.7%
Moderate concern 9.4%
Severe concern 6.9%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
