Initial analysis

The four-story, three-unit apartment building at 698 Page Street in Hayes Valley, owned by Page Steiner Assocs LLC and built in 2017, has experienced several notable events over the past few years. Most recently, in April 2023, PG&E completed work installing cellular radio equipment on a utility pole adjacent to the property, which included electrical infrastructure modifications. The building has had three false fire alarm incidents recorded, all of which were determined to be unintentional with no civilian injuries reported. Between November 2024 and January 2025, there were multiple parking-related incidents in the vicinity of the building, with several confirmed cases of vehicles blocking driveways, resulting in at least one citation being issued. The property has also experienced recurring issues with street cleanliness and debris, including reports of abandoned furniture and loose garbage, though these incidents were all subsequently resolved through appropriate city services. Additionally, in November 2024, the installation of a Verizon wireless facility on an existing SFPUC steel light pole was approved and completed, though this appears to be an unrelated installation from the PG&E work done in 2023.

Risk rating

How 698 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.

Neighborhood percentile
81th percentile

Out of 1027 buildings in this neighborhood, 195 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.

Number of floors

Building height affects maintenance complexity and is one of the size signals the model uses.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 77.8%
Moderate concern 12.5%
Severe concern 9.7%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
