Initial analysis

The three-story, four-unit multi-family residential building at 378-382 Waller Street, owned by the Judith A Dalton Trust, has a documented history of maintenance issues and recent concerns. Built in 1900, the Hayes Valley property has undergone several significant repairs over the years, including dry rot remediation in 2011 and 2003, front trim replacement in 2006, complete reroofing in 1998, and a service feed conduit replacement due to storm damage in 2019. A major concern emerged in June 2022 when construction began without proper notice, leading to an active complaint regarding unauthorized asbestos removal. This triggered subsequent bathroom demolition and remodeling work, though this also raised concerns about mold and safety compliance.

The building has experienced various safety and maintenance issues, particularly evident during a 2002 routine inspection that resulted in multiple violations, including problems with stairs, exterior door security, and combustible storage, though these were all abated by September 2003. More recent concerns include multiple 311 calls regarding garbage and debris on the property, with several reports of abandoned furniture and waste between September and October 2024, suggesting ongoing maintenance challenges. The building's fire safety systems appear to have had at least one activation in the past, though this was noted as unintentional with no injuries reported. The property underwent tenant buyouts in November 2022, with three payments of $10,000 recorded for unit 378. Two sidewalk-related complaints were recently filed in December 2024 regarding defects caused by tree roots, which are currently in open status.

Risk rating

How 378-382 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.
