Initial analysis

The 104 Webster Street property is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in Hayes Valley, constructed in 1886. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over its history, with the most recent major concerns emerging in 2015 when multiple violations were documented, including problems with handrails/guardrails, weather-proofing of siding, and lead paint concerns - all of which were addressed by May 27, 2015. Previous issues between 1996-2001 included serious concerns such as roof leaks, ceiling damage, and tenant-landlord disputes, though these were ultimately resolved. The building's maintenance history shows both planned improvements and reactive repairs, with records indicating work on front stairs in 1983, plumbing modifications in 1999, and various permit renewals. Recent history from 2024 shows typical urban maintenance issues being addressed, such as graffiti removal and catch basin maintenance, with one recent open request related to paint shop services. There has been one documented smoke detector activation with no fire or injuries reported, though this incident raises questions about the building's fire safety systems.

Risk rating

How 104 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.
