Initial analysis

The property at 345 Haight Street is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building located in Hayes Valley, owned by Booker Varnett and constructed in 1900. The building's most pressing current issue is an active complaint filed in January 2023 regarding deterioration of the rear facade, including leaking water and graffiti problems. The building has a history of safety and maintenance violations, with a significant cluster of issues identified during a routine inspection in 2008, including multiple fire safety concerns (such as the need for fire extinguishers and sprinkler systems), gas utility shutoff tool requirements, and combustible storage problems, all of which were ultimately abated by November 2008. Earlier violations from 2001 noted security and building concerns, including self-closing door requirements, egress obstruction, stair repairs, and lead paint hazard issues. The building's documented history shows a pattern of maintenance challenges, with earlier complaints in 1995 regarding various electrical and security issues.

Recent activity around the property has included multiple 311 calls regarding street cleanliness and graffiti in 2024, with some cases still pending resolution. The building has a documented smoke-related incident (without injuries) on record, though the date is not specified. Historical permit records show various maintenance and compliance work, including a 2015 street space permit and a 2001 door replacement project. The property's location has been subject to regular municipal services addressing graffiti, debris, and other environmental concerns, as evidenced by multiple service calls throughout 2024.

Risk rating

How 345 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

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.
