AI summary

The three-story multi-family residential building at 531-535 Page Street in Hayes Valley, currently owned by 531-535 Page St LLC, was constructed in 1895 and contains three units. The property has undergone various improvements and faced several challenges over its history. Most recently, in September 2021, a mold complaint was filed regarding unit 533 Page, with concerns about water in walls and potential bathroom leaks. The building underwent significant improvements in 2021 with the installation of 21 vinyl windows (cost: $21,932), and earlier updates included a complete electrical renovation of the garage area in 2003 (cost: $17,800) and the addition of fire sprinklers to the garage and storage areas in 2003 (cost: $5,000).

Historical records show the building faced multiple maintenance and safety issues during the 1990s, including problems with heat, fire escapes, and water damage, though these were subsequently addressed. In 2004, the building underwent routine inspections that revealed various violations related to fire safety and plumbing, all of which were abated by September 2004. More recent concerns have primarily been limited to parking issues outside the building, with numerous reports of sidewalk parking between March 2024 and January 2025. The building's fire incident record shows only minor events, primarily false alarms and cooking-related incidents, with no civilian injuries reported. A significant tenant buyout occurred in February 2022 at 533 Page Street, involving four tenants and totaling $70,000. The property has maintained a regular pattern of inspections and improvements, though the recent mold complaint in 2021 suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.

Risk rating

How 531-535 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.

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.
