Initial analysis

The property at 436-440 Haight Street is a two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, containing four units plus commercial space, currently owned by Elinor Callisto LLC. The building has undergone several significant improvements and faced various compliance challenges over the years. Most recently, in 2018, a complete rewiring of both residential and commercial units was completed, including installation of new electrical panels. In 2017, the building received a new roof at a cost of $9,000. Accessibility improvements were initiated in 2014 with work to install a new accessible toilet room.

The building's history includes notable compliance issues, particularly in 2001 when multiple permits expired without final inspection and life safety compliance at rear stairs, leading to violations that were eventually abated in 2002. More recent challenges include vacant storefront violations in 2019, though these were resolved by 2020. Several complaints from 1999-2000 documented construction-related issues including gas leaks and renovation concerns, all of which were subsequently resolved.

Risk rating

How 436-440 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.

There looks to be a break in attempt to this building and now the metal entrance door has been pulled to the side and is half way blocking the sidewalk. the business remains open and there's no barrier or signage warning others of this hazard. (311 sr 101001454670)
