Initial analysis

The property at 719-725 Oak Street in Hayes Valley is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1917. The building is currently undergoing significant structural work, with recent permits documenting partial rear foundation removal and replacement, joist reinforcement, and plywood wall reinforcement in the garage, with associated revisions to footing details. This construction, valued at $30,000, represents the most substantial recent investment in the building's infrastructure. The property has a history of significant safety and structural concerns, evidenced by multiple violations in 2007 related to combustible storage, garbage receptacle placement, wall damage, inadequate lighting, and an unauthorized third dwelling unit. While these violations were eventually abated by August 2007, they indicate a period of considerable maintenance and safety challenges. More recent fire safety records show several alarm incidents, though none resulted in injuries or significant damage.

The building's maintenance history includes various tree-related issues in 2023-2024, with recent complaints about damaged and overgrown trees still awaiting resolution. Multiple 311 calls between 2023 and 2024 indicate ongoing concerns about street cleanliness and debris removal around the property, though most have been promptly resolved. The property had two complaints filed in 2007 regarding an alleged illegal third dwelling unit, which appears to have been addressed, as indicated by a completed inspection finding related to unpermitted occupancy in 2007. The recent structural permits suggest proactive maintenance of the building's core systems, though the tree-related maintenance issues and history of fire alarm incidents indicate areas requiring continued attention.

Risk rating

How 719-725 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.
