Initial analysis

The three-story, six-unit multi-family residential building at 707 Haight Street in Hayes Valley, owned by Douglas Montgomery Living Trust, has undergone several significant safety and infrastructure upgrades since its construction in 1917. Most notably, the building completed mandatory soft-story retrofits in 2016 (with subsequent plumbing and electrical adjustments in 2020), achieving Tier 3 status with CFC issuance. Recent safety improvements include a comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade completed in mid-2023, featuring new devices such as pull stations, smoke detectors, low-frequency sounders, and a new control panel to comply with San Francisco Fire Code requirements.

The building has a history of resolving maintenance issues promptly, with a fire escape ladder violation in 2002 being abated within two months, and routine housing inspections in 2002 and 2008 showing no persistent problems. Infrastructure enhancements include the installation of a roof-mounted solar system in 2013, featuring 20 modules and a new 60-amp main. While there have been multiple reports of garbage and debris issues in recent months (January 2025), these appear to be primarily related to city garbage cans rather than building-specific concerns, with all cases being resolved through appropriate channels. The building's maintenance record suggests regular attention to safety and infrastructure needs, with all significant permitting work being completed as required.

Risk rating

How 707 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.

Neighborhood percentile
67th percentile

Out of 1027 buildings in this neighborhood, 339 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.

Building age

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

Property class: mixed-use w/ SFR

Mixed-use property including a single-family residential component.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 68.4%
Moderate concern 19.8%
Severe concern 11.9%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
