Initial analysis

The two-story, four-unit apartment building at 458-460 Waller Street in Hayes Valley, owned by the Steven J Oliva Trust, has a history dating back to its 1923 construction. The most significant recent improvements occurred in 2007, when unit 460 underwent a comprehensive kitchen and bathroom remodel costing $25,000, accompanied by major electrical upgrades including a 225-amp service upgrade and complete rewiring of the unit's electrical system. The building has experienced regular housing inspections, with the most recent routine inspection from 2008 still showing as active. In 2002, the property faced some building and fire safety violations regarding fire extinguisher maintenance, though these were resolved within two months.

More recent activity includes a 2020 complaint about non-essential construction work in the basement, which was recorded as not active by the Building Inspection Division. The property has maintained relatively good compliance with building codes since the 2002 violations were addressed, with no major safety concerns on record in recent years. The building's exterior and surrounding area have been subject to various maintenance calls, primarily for parking enforcement issues and general street cleaning needs, as evidenced by numerous 311 calls between 2022 and 2025. While there have been recurring reports of garbage and debris in the vicinity, these have generally been resolved promptly by city services. The most recent building-related work was documented through 311 calls for street cleaning and general maintenance needs between 2023-2025, though these do not directly relate to the building's structural or safety conditions.

Risk rating

How 458-460 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.
