Initial analysis

The 7-unit apartment building at 715 Haight Street in Hayes Valley, owned by Douglas Montgomery Living Trust, is a 3-story multi-family residential structure built in 1922. The building has undergone several significant safety and infrastructure upgrades in recent years, most notably a comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade in 2023 (costing $38,000) to comply with current fire code requirements, and the replacement of Federal Pacific breaker panels in late 2023 - a critical safety upgrade given the known issues with this equipment. The building previously completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2015, demonstrating compliance with San Francisco's seismic safety requirements.

The property has had recurring fire safety maintenance issues, particularly concerning the fire escape drop ladder, which resulted in multiple violations and a building complaint in 2022, though these were subsequently abated. Historical records show consistent attention to maintenance, including a reroofing project in 1991 and various repairs in 1984. While there have been several fire alarm system malfunctions recorded by the Fire Department, none resulted in injuries or significant damage. The building's recent permit history indicates active management of safety systems, including electrical upgrades and routine maintenance. Multiple 311 calls regarding the property between March and September 2024 primarily concerned external issues such as graffiti and driveway blocking, rather than building safety concerns. The most recent building inspection in December 2022 resulted in several violations related to fire safety equipment and common area maintenance, though these were resolved within a month.

Risk rating

How 715 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.
