Initial analysis

The three-unit, three-story residential building at 468-472 Waller Street in Hayes Valley, owned by Allison Chapleau, has undergone significant renovations and improvements since 2013. The most substantial work occurred between 2013-2014, when all three units received extensive updates including kitchen and bathroom remodels, with the upper floors benefiting from a $300,000 renovation that included new bathrooms, kitchen remodels, and the installation of modern electrical systems with new appliances and smoke detectors. Structural improvements included the installation of a moment frame and shear wall in the basement, repairs to rear exterior common stairs, and comprehensive plumbing updates throughout the building, such as the replacement of three furnaces and installation of new water heaters, completed in early 2014 at a cost of $55,000. A notable design feature was planned in 2014 but ultimately cancelled—a 325 square foot private roof deck accessible from the third floor.

The building's history includes several code violations and repair needs addressed between 2000-2007, primarily concerning handrails, stairs, and egress obstructions, which were all resolved by late 2007. An earlier complaint in 2004 regarding an unpermitted downstairs garage unit was also resolved by 2005. More recent maintenance issues noted include a missing side sewer vent cover in 2023 and ongoing concerns about tree roots damaging the sidewalk, as of September 2023. The property has experienced typical urban challenges as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in recent years, predominantly related to street cleaning, parking issues, and waste removal. A smoke detector malfunction was the only recorded fire incident associated with the building, with no injuries reported.

Risk rating

How 468-472 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, 472 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.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Building age

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

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 53.7%
Moderate concern 19.1%
Severe concern 27.1%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
