Initial analysis

119 Haight Street is a three-story, 30-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1910 and currently owned by the Charles M Wallis Revocable Living Trust. The property has undergone several significant improvements in recent years, including a major exterior renovation in 2023 involving the replacement of 114 windows and building siding at a cost of $98,000, and previously completed soft-story retrofit work in 2016 valued at $160,000. The building has experienced some maintenance challenges over its history, with documented issues including water damage and ceiling repairs needed in 2000, mold problems in 2012, and various plumbing concerns with a burst pipe incident in 2000 and subsequent plumbing updates in 2021. The property's life safety systems have required attention, with multiple fire alarm and sprinkler system complaints recorded between 2021 and 2024, though most were resolved with conditions corrected or deemed to have no merit.

The building's infrastructure has received ongoing maintenance, including the installation of a new domestic hot water boiler in 2015 and various plumbing updates. Historical records show the property has generally addressed violations in a timely manner, with the most recent boiler permit compliance issue from 2021 being resolved within two months. The Hayes Valley neighborhood building has experienced recurring issues with garbage and debris removal in recent months, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls throughout 2023-2024, though these appear to be more related to street-level maintenance than building-specific concerns. The property has maintained its compliance with major safety requirements, including successfully completing its soft-story retrofit program, which is classified as Tier 2 with work completed and a CFC issued.

Risk rating

How 119 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
