Initial analysis

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 384-388 Waller Street, owned by Giovanni Agnoli, has undergone significant recent improvements between 2022 and 2023, including comprehensive bathroom and kitchen renovations, window replacements, and electrical upgrades. Most notably, the property underwent substantial unit upgrades with three separate kitchen remodels (costing between $10,000 and $13,000 each), bathroom renovations (up to $25,000), and the installation of 15 new energy-efficient windows with a U-factor not exceeding 0.30 in July 2022. The building's infrastructure received attention with electrical panel replacements in 2022 and a complete reroofing in 2014.

Historical records show past structural work in 1995 addressing dry rot issues and mudsill repairs, while the property experienced a cluster of gas utility-related violations in 2002, all of which were promptly abated within two months. Recent maintenance issues have emerged on the surrounding streets, with multiple reports of abandoned debris and garbage (most notably in late 2024), though these were generally resolved by city services. There are also ongoing concerns regarding tree root damage to the sidewalk, with reports dating from late 2023 and into 2024. Tenancy records indicate at least one significant tenant buyout occurred in March 2022 for $108,000 involving two tenants at 384 Waller Street, though no buyouts are recorded for the other units.

Risk rating

How 384-388 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, 51 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.

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.

Property class: single-family home

Single-family homes (class A) have distinct violation and complaint patterns from multi-family buildings.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 80.6%
Moderate concern 13.2%
Severe concern 6.3%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
