Initial analysis

The property at 544-546 Haight Street is a three-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1988, containing 6 units and owned by Patrick J & Deirdre F Stack. The building underwent significant improvements between late 2014 and early 2015, including the conversion of existing second-floor commercial space into a residential unit with comprehensive renovations of multiple units (103, 201, 202, 203), including kitchens, bathrooms, and the installation of new appliances and fixtures. During this period, important safety upgrades were completed, including the installation of a fire sprinkler system, electrical rewiring, and plumbing improvements across various units.

The building has experienced two notable safety incidents: in 2009, architectural elements on the third story were found loose and posed a potential hazard to the public, leading to a violation that was resolved by May 2010; and in March 2015, a vehicle incident resulted in damage to storefront glass, though no structural issues were reported. More recent records (2022-2024) show routine building maintenance and compliance matters, including a 2023 fire complaint regarding unpermitted operations that was resolved through correction of the condition. The building's exterior and surrounding area have had periodic reports of cleanliness issues (garbage, debris), which appear to be addressed promptly by relevant authorities. Additionally, there is a pending matter from late 2024 regarding a defaced parking sign that remains open for resolution.

Risk rating

How 544-546 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
80th percentile

Out of 1027 buildings in this neighborhood, 205 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.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 65.6%
Moderate concern 26.2%
Severe concern 8.3%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
