Initial analysis

The three-unit, two-story apartment building at 100 Hermann Street in Hayes Valley, owned by Barbara J Granieri Living Trust, was constructed in 1922 and has undergone several significant renovations and repairs over its lifetime. Most recently, in 2013, a kitchen remodel was completed including cabinet and countertop replacement, along with associated plumbing and electrical work costing approximately $9,000. In 2003, the building underwent seismic improvements with the installation of mudsill bolts to the foundation. Between 2000-2001, the property experienced several maintenance challenges requiring attention, including repairs to dry rot, stucco issues, and window replacement, followed by a routine inspection in 2010.

The building has a history of fire safety system activations, though none have resulted in injuries or confirmed fires, with most being false alarms or system malfunctions. There were multiple housing inspections conducted, particularly in the early 2000s, which revealed various violations related to lead paint hazards, security requirements, and building maintenance issues - though all these violations appear to have been addressed and abated. Recent activity at the property primarily consists of external maintenance issues documented through 311 calls, including reports of graffiti on the mailbox (2023-2024), cleaning requirements for garbage and debris, and occasional sidewalk blockage issues, though these do not directly relate to the building's internal conditions. The most recent building permit activity was noted in 2013, suggesting that no major structural or systems upgrades have been performed in the past decade.

Risk rating

How 100 Hermann 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, 503 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.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

Building age

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

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 53.4%
Moderate concern 26.2%
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.
