Initial analysis

The property at 222 Webster St in Hayes Valley is a 2-story, 6-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1924, currently held by the Murray 1988 Trust Udt. The building has undergone several significant modifications and improvements over recent years, most notably the legalization of an existing ground floor unit in 2023 (cost: $119,375) and completion of required soft-story seismic retrofitting in 2016 (cost: $60,000). A compliance issue in 2017 resulted in multiple building violations that were resolved by October 2017, addressing various safety concerns including smoke detector repairs, window issues, and the removal of storage from egress paths.

Recent tenant complaints indicate ongoing maintenance challenges, with the most recent issues reported in March 2024 involving rotting windows, mold, worn hallway carpet, and back door safety concerns. The building has a documented history of water-related problems, including leaks and water damage, particularly affecting multiple units in 2019 and 2017, with associated mold issues noted in some complaints. The property has also been subject to routine housing inspections in 2012 and 2002, with various violations and repair needs identified and subsequently addressed. Maintenance history includes a 1987 fire damage repair, 2005 dry rot repairs, and multiple unit improvements such as kitchen remodeling and vent pipe installation in 1999-2000. Recent plumbing work is underway as of January 2025, involving fixture updates in Apartment 8.

Risk rating

How 222 Webster 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.
