Initial analysis

The 6-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 963-967 Oak Street in Hayes Valley, owned by SST Investments LLC, was constructed in 1895 and has undergone significant renovations over its history. The most substantial improvements occurred in 2006, when the property received $50,000 in remodeling work across three kitchens and six bathrooms (one kitchen and two bathrooms per unit), along with a complete electrical upgrade including wiring, lights, switches, and receptacles across all units (963, 965, and 967). Earlier issues were addressed in 2005 when guardrails on the rear stairs were replaced to comply with a Notice of Violation issued in 2002, which had previously cited multiple safety concerns including stair repairs, fire gate manual release requirements, and self-closing door devices - all of which were ultimately abated by August 2006.

The building has experienced several maintenance issues over its history, with the most recent being a 2018 complaint about dilapidated exterior boards above the walkway to the neighboring property. Earlier concerns from 1998 documented problems with heating, plumbing, electrical systems, and pest infestations, though these were resolved within several months. The property has also faced various parking and sidewalk-related issues in recent years, including multiple reports of driveway blocking (with citations issued) and a collapsed sidewalk reported in 2021. More recently, there has been one open case regarding a missing side sewer vent cover from 2022. While the building's major systems have received updates, the presence of recurring parking violations and some maintenance issues suggests ongoing challenges with property upkeep.

Risk rating

How 963-967 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.
