AI summary

The four-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 668-672 Waller Street in Hayes Valley, owned by Barbara P Fedun Trust, has undergone significant renovations and faced several maintenance challenges since its construction in 1923. The property has seen consistent investment in unit upgrades, with the most recent work completed in 2023 involving kitchen and bathroom improvements ($45,000), including new plumbing fixtures and electrical work. Notably, the building experienced a series of foundation issues, with permits dated 2020 and 2021 addressing problems with the west foundation wall, though the earlier 2020 permit for this work was not completed, requiring a subsequent $1 permit in 2021 to resolve this matter. The building faced multiple violations in April 2019, including concerns about smoke alarms, carbon monoxide detectors, lead hazards, and damaged paint, though all these issues were abated by August 2019.

Recent maintenance history shows ongoing attention to infrastructure, with electrical upgrades including a new sub-panel installation and general improvements to various units. The building has experienced some plumbing emergencies, including a 2024 sewage backup incident and a 2019 water damage case, though these issues appear to have been addressed. The property has seen multiple parking enforcement actions recently, with several citations issued for vehicles blocking driveways between late 2023 and early 2024. Historical records show earlier concerns including a fire hazard in 2002 (resolved by 2005) and various renovation projects including kitchen remodels, window replacements, and foundation repairs. The building's maintenance record suggests regular upkeep and addressing of violations, though the pattern of multiple permits for similar work (e.g., foundation repairs, kitchen remodels) indicates some challenges with project completion on initial attempts.

Risk rating

How 668-672 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, 585 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Owner's portfolio size

Number of SF parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios have distinct risk patterns.

Building age

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 57.1%
Moderate concern 22.5%
Severe concern 20.4%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
