Initial analysis

145-147 Webster Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in Hayes Valley, built in 1900 and currently owned by Ko-ri Inc. The property has undergone significant recent activity, with major renovations taking place throughout 2024. A notable ongoing project (as of October 2024) involves basement modifications to create an 8-foot ceiling height, including the construction of new footings and installation of additional facilities, though the basement will remain unoccupied and used for storage. Earlier in 2024, the building underwent substantial interior improvements including kitchen and bathroom renovations, electrical upgrades including a new sub-panel, and multiple water heater replacements. The building has a documented history of maintenance and compliance issues, particularly noticeable in early 2022 when multiple violations were recorded simultaneously, including problems with windows, doors, heating systems, and electrical fixtures, all of which were abated by March 2022. More recent concerns in 2023-2024 have centered around construction-related issues, with several complaints about heat, water, and debris management. Specifically, during March-April 2024, there were multiple complaints regarding construction safety concerns including potential asbestos, inadequate dust containment, and structural issues, though most of these complaints were promptly addressed according to housing inspection records.

The building's historical maintenance record shows periodic upgrades and repairs including roofing work and kitchen remodeling in 2000, though many older permits from that period have since expired. It appears the property has had consistent attention to basic systems replacement, as evidenced by the recent water heater upgrades and electrical improvements. The property has faced some logistical challenges related to waste management, particularly noted in complaints about inadequate garbage service and overflow issues from 2022. Recent complaints about construction work have raised concerns among tenants regarding proper containment of materials and potential safety hazards, though these issues have generally been addressed through official channels. The building's exterior and surrounding areas have been subject to regular municipal attention for various maintenance issues, including sidewalk cleaning and graffiti removal, with all reported issues being resolved through appropriate channels.

Risk rating

How 145-147 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.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.
