Initial analysis

The 307-311 Waller Street property is a 4-story, 3-unit multi-family residential building located in Hayes Valley, built in 1900 and currently owned by Daniel Scott Talbert. The building has undergone significant improvements over the past two decades, with major renovations occurring between 2011-2012 including a comprehensive kitchen and bathroom renovation, addition of dormers and a new mezzanine, and facade restoration with window replacement, totaling approximately $173,500 in improvements. Sustainable upgrades have been implemented, including the installation of a solar PV system (1.92 kW) in 2011, a Tesla Powerwall battery system (40.5 kWh) in 2022, and an electric vehicle charging station in 2017.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to safety and accessibility, including the installation of handrails throughout rear stairs in 2008 and two fireplace installations in 2012. A routine housing inspection in 2008 resulted in several violations related to fire safety, lead paint hazards, and building maintenance, all of which were promptly addressed and abated by December 2008. Recent maintenance issues have been minimal, with the most recent major concern being a missing side sewer vent cover reported in April 2023. The property has maintained its residential use as a 3-unit condominium since conversion, with all major systems receiving appropriate updates and improvements over time. The building's location has experienced typical urban maintenance issues as evidenced by 311 calls, primarily relating to street cleaning and sidewalk maintenance, though these are external to the building itself.

Risk rating

How 307-311 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, 216 are predicted to be safer.
