Initial analysis

Located in Hayes Valley, 608 Haight Street is a 3-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1895 and currently owned by Robert and Patricia Moyce. The property has undergone several significant renovations and improvements over the past two decades, with the most recent substantial work occurring in 2019, including a kitchen remodel ($35,901) with associated plumbing and electrical updates. The building had notable issues in 2007-2009, including complaints about roof and window leaks, lack of heat, and rodent problems, which were addressed through various repairs totaling over $45,000. A routine inspection in 2002 revealed multiple maintenance issues including security violations, fire safety concerns, and heating problems, all of which were ultimately resolved by December 2007.

More recent history shows ongoing maintenance and upgrading of the property, including a bathroom remodel in Unit C in 2017 and various exterior work permits. The building underwent major repairs in 2011 regarding rear stairs, decks, and landings, though this permit was ultimately cancelled. Recent activity in 2024-2025 shows multiple 311 calls related to garbage and debris management, including instances of mold and mildew reports in November 2024. Though there have been several false fire alarms and system malfunctions recorded by the fire department, no actual fire incidents or civilian injuries have been reported. The property's rear yard deck extension and stairway replacement project was approved in 2024, marking the most recent significant structural modification to the building.

Risk rating

How 608 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
