Initial analysis

The three-story, four-unit multi-family residential building at 354-358 Waller Street in Hayes Valley, owned by Zula M. Jones, has undergone several significant maintenance and safety-related improvements since 2023. Most notably, the building is currently undergoing front stair replacement work, with permits issued in August and September 2023 totaling $28,001, though recent revisions have omitted some previously planned foundation work. Earlier in 2023, the roof above the bay window was repaired at a cost of $1,000. The building has an established history of stair maintenance, with earlier attempts to replace the front stairs in 2016 having been withdrawn, and safety improvements including handrail installation at the rear stair in 2008 costing $500. The property previously faced multiple safety violations in 2008, including issues with fire extinguisher requirements, gas shutoff tools, handrails, and self-closing devices at exterior doors, all of which were abated by December 2008.

Recent maintenance activities have primarily focused on structural elements, particularly the stairs, with no recent fire safety violations recorded. A 2024 complaint regarding a missing side sewer vent cover is currently open. The building's recent history shows regular compliance with maintenance requirements, though there was an incident in 2023 involving a damaged telecommunication cable that was resolved. The property has experienced some street-related issues outside the building, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in 2024 regarding parking violations and sidewalk cleaning, but these are not directly related to the building's condition or safety. The only recorded fire-related incident was a gas leak, though no civilian injuries were reported.

Risk rating

How 354-358 Waller 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

Out of 1027 buildings in this neighborhood, 359 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Owner's portfolio size

Number of SF parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios have distinct risk patterns.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 62.8%
Moderate concern 18.6%
Severe concern 18.6%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
