Initial analysis

The 4-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 395-399 Haight Street, owned by Najjar Jamil K & Fatmeh, was built in 1890 and has undergone several significant maintenance and compliance issues over the years. Most notably, in 2018, the building faced multiple violations that required repairs to floor tiles, installation of self-closing doors, window repairs, and heater functionality fixes. These issues were addressed through various permits totaling approximately $2,900, including plumbing and electrical work. The building has experienced recurring safety-related concerns, with a 2021 complaint regarding a potentially hazardous fire escape. Historical maintenance records from 2006 reveal multiple violations, including concerns about fire safety, unauthorized work, and mold conditions in the ground floor storage area. Fire incident records indicate five responses between 2006 and 2024, though none resulted in civilian injuries, including a building fire, toxic condition response, CO detector activation, cooking fire, and water problem incident.

Recent records from late 2024 show ongoing maintenance challenges, primarily related to garbage management on the property, with multiple reports of debris and cleanup needed in the vicinity. The building has undergone regular housing inspections, with routine violations being documented and subsequently addressed, including issues with carbon monoxide/smoke detectors, garbage bin placement, and damaged planter boxes. Historical permits show various repair and compliance work, including window repairs, floor tile repairs, and security improvements such as gate installations. The property has experienced both building and fire code violations over the years, though all have been marked as closed or abated, indicating formal resolution through required repairs or corrections. The most recent inspection records from 2018 indicate that major compliance issues were addressed, though the frequency of recent 311 calls suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly with respect to exterior upkeep and garbage management.

Risk rating

How 395-399 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.
