Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family residential building with ground-floor commercial space at 701-705 Haight Street, owned by Tyjay LLC, has undergone significant recent renovations, particularly in 2022-2023, including a $251,000 interior renovation of a restaurant/bar (Black Sands Brewery) with new millwork, furniture, and kitchen modifications, followed by heating system upgrades ($22,400) and fire suppression system alterations ($5,300) completed in July 2023. The property has experienced several safety-related incidents, most notably in July 2022 when complaints were filed regarding construction work on the top floor being allegedly hazardous and beyond the scope of permitted work. The building has had multiple fire department responses including several smoke detector activations and one gas leak incident, though none resulted in civilian injuries. There were also historical complaints about accessibility issues and construction work in 2014 that were noted as problematic, though these appear to have been resolved through proper permits and corrections.

The property has maintained active compliance with safety systems, with recent work including the installation of new heating systems, a grease trap, and various plumbing and electrical upgrades in 2023. There have been multiple instances of graffiti and street maintenance issues reported through 311 calls in late 2024 and 2025 that are awaiting resolution. The building's commercial portion has received various approvals for operational changes, including extended hours of operation for the brewery, though there were past issues with unauthorized changes to the building façade that were subsequently corrected. Planning records indicate ongoing compliance with health and safety requirements, with recent fire complaints related to Shared Spaces being dismissed or marked as duplicate complaints with no merit.

Risk rating

How 701-705 Haight 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.
