Initial analysis

The 6-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 400-402 Haight Street, built in 1895 and currently owned by Shizuo Holdings Trust, has undergone several significant safety and maintenance upgrades over recent years, with particular attention to fire safety systems. Most recently, in July 2024, a major fire alarm system upgrade was permitted at a cost of $24,896 to comply with current fire code requirements, including the installation of pull stations at all required exits and a monitored system with a cellular communication path. The building completed its soft-story retrofit work (Tier 4) and received a Certificate of Final Completion (CFC), demonstrating compliance with seismic safety requirements.

The property has experienced various maintenance and safety issues over the years, particularly between 2000-2002 when multiple violations were recorded regarding fire safety equipment, stairs, and a problematic basement space. Notable recent tenant complaints include concerns about construction work, chemical exposure, and a period without heat in 2020. The building has a documented history of plumbing and electrical system upgrades, with various improvements to individual units including waste line replacements, plumbing fixture updates, and electrical system modifications such as the installation of hard-wired smoke/carbon detectors in 2019. Several 311 calls regarding street cleaning and graffiti were recorded in late 2024, though these are external to the building itself. While there have been some fire department responses to the address, including for carbon monoxide detector activations and electrical issues, notably none of these incidents resulted in civilian injuries or significant damage, though one building fire incident was recorded.

Risk rating

How 400-402 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.
