Initial analysis

The two-story multi-family residential building at 107 Germania Street in Hayes Valley, owned by 107 Germania St LLC, dates back to 1892 and contains 2 units of flats/duplex class. The property has undergone several significant repairs over its history, including a back deck repair in 2018 costing $4,500, bay window repairs in 2006 ($2,000), and notably, fire damage restoration in 1989 which included siding replacement and insulation improvements. Most recently, in April 2024, electrical work was permitted to replace two Federal Pacific sub-panels beneath the existing meter, indicating attention to upgrading potentially outdated infrastructure.

The building's surroundings have experienced ongoing maintenance challenges, as evidenced by multiple 311 reports throughout 2024 and into early 2025, predominantly related to garbage and debris on the street and sidewalk. These reports, most of which have been resolved, include instances of abandoned items such as a refrigerator and general loose garbage. There was also one report of graffiti on a pole in December 2024 that was addressed by the SES Graffiti Crew. While these exterior maintenance issues have been consistently addressed by various city agencies, including Recology and Public Works, they primarily reflect conditions in the immediate neighborhood rather than problems with the building itself. The property has an approved Block Book Notice, according to planning records, though no tenant buyout records are available for this address.

Risk rating

How 107 Germania 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
