Initial analysis

Located in San Francisco's Hayes Valley neighborhood, 92-98 Webster Street is a two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building owned by Ravi Belani and constructed in 1900. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and safety upgrades over the years, including a complete reroofing in 1992 and the installation of outdoor lighting fixtures with motion detectors in 2004. In May 2005, the building underwent a routine inspection that revealed multiple safety issues requiring correction, including repairs needed for handrails and stairs, as well as the provision of a gas utility shutoff tool; these violations were successfully abated by June 2005.

More recently, there has been one significant safety concern, with a 2024 complaint regarding an open garage door on the sidewalk potentially creating an injury risk. The building has also experienced multiple parking-related issues in late 2024, with several complaints about sidewalk parking, though these could not be validated by officers. The property's maintenance history shows attention to structural and safety improvements, including a code compliance upgrade in 1987. Two minor incidents were recorded by the fire department - a water/steam leak and an unintentional alarm system activation - neither resulting in civilian injuries. While there have been periodic issues with garbage and debris in the surrounding area, as evidenced by 311 calls, these appear to be general neighborhood maintenance concerns rather than building-specific problems.

Risk rating

How 92-98 Webster 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, 555 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.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 50.9%
Moderate concern 23.3%
Severe concern 25.8%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
