Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 606 Haight Street in Hayes Valley, owned by the James O Siegel III Trust, has undergone several significant renovations and maintenance work since its construction in 1900. Recent improvements in 2021 included installation of new hardwood floors, kitchen renovations, and replacement of damaged siding and window trim, with corresponding plumbing work for new kitchen fixtures and electrical work for laundry facilities. The building has seen consistent upkeep over the years, with a complete reroofing project in 2011 (cost: $10,000) and addressing of various maintenance issues such as exterior stairs repair in 1996 and bathroom leak remediation in 1995.

The property has experienced some concerning incidents in its history, including two major housing violations in the 1990s involving overcrowding and unauthorized commercial use, both of which were resolved. Recent maintenance challenges have been primarily related to exterior issues, including reports of graffiti and debris on neighboring properties in 2024, though these were promptly addressed. The building's recent history shows proper maintenance and updates, with the most recent work focusing on modernizing interior features and ensuring compliance with current building standards. While there have been several 311 calls regarding the property and immediate vicinity in recent years, most were related to external issues such as street cleaning and parking concerns rather than building-specific problems. The building has one recorded fire alarm activation with no fire damage or civilian injuries.

Risk rating

How 606 Haight 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

Out of 1027 buildings in this neighborhood, 226 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.

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 59.3%
Moderate concern 19.2%
Severe concern 21.5%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
