Initial analysis

The 150 Haight Street apartment building is a 6-story, 42-unit multi-family residential structure built in 1927 and currently owned by Redstone 150 Haight Street. The property has undergone several significant improvements in recent years, including a complete window replacement project in 2018 ($130,000) that installed 178 double-glazed aluminum windows, and a comprehensive fire system upgrade in 2018 ($21,000) that included new panels, smoke detectors, and low-frequency sounders in every unit. The building has experienced ongoing boiler-related issues, with the most recent permit issued in February 2024 for Unit 604 to replace various kitchen fixtures and complete interior work. There is currently an active complaint from August 2024 regarding expired boiler permits for two units, including serial numbers 211 12135 0996 and C10224730.

Recent maintenance work includes a completed steam boiler replacement in July 2024. The building has had multiple electrical system upgrades between 2017-2018, including new electrical panels and kitchen circuits. The property experienced some fire safety compliance issues in 2004, which were resolved within several months, including problems with fire enclosure doors, fire proofing materials, and combustible storage. Recent work on Unit 604 demonstrates ongoing maintenance of individual units, though a January 2024 complaint regarding unauthorized construction work and metal sawing beneath an apartment is currently active. The building's recent history shows regular maintenance and improvements, though with occasional delays in permit renewals and minor compliance issues that are typically addressed promptly once identified.

Risk rating

How 150 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

Out of 1027 buildings in this neighborhood, 924 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.

Number of units

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

Building size

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

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 13.9%
Moderate concern 56.0%
Severe concern 30.1%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
