Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 789-793 Page Street in Hayes Valley, owned by Ethan Davidoff and Eli Santos, is a three-story flats and duplex structure built in 1911. The property has undergone several significant renovations over the past decade, including bathroom and kitchen remodels in units 791 (2011) and throughout the building (2015-2016), with associated plumbing and electrical work. A notable safety concern emerged in 2017 when multiple violations were recorded, including issues with fire extinguisher certification, egress obstruction, combustible storage, and lighting problems, all of which were abated by June 2017. The building also faced concerns about mold and balcony safety that same year. More recently, in 2024, there have been some maintenance issues reported through 311 calls, including a missing side sewer vent cover and instances of debris removal. The property has experienced recurring fire safety inspection complaints over the years, particularly regarding fire extinguishers and exit maintenance, though most were found to have "No Merit" upon investigation. The rear upper balcony and roof were removed in 2017 to address code violations, and there have been several instances of graffiti reported on or near the property, with the most recent case in 2023.

Risk rating

How 789-793 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.
