Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 367-371 Hermann Street in Hayes Valley, owned by Patrick S. Waters and Thorogood, was constructed in 1908 and spans three stories. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past two decades, with the most recent being a window replacement project in 2021 costing $13,691, which included installing energy-efficient windows with a U-factor below .30. Prior improvements include a kitchen renovation with new cabinets and flooring in 2013 ($5,000), though this work initially generated complaints about lack of proper permits. The building underwent a complete electrical rewiring in 2005 ($250,000), and in 2010, significant structural improvements were made including the installation of French doors and a new deck with fire protection measures ($13,076).

The building has a history of maintenance and safety compliance issues that were addressed, particularly in 2009 when multiple citations were issued regarding fire safety and security requirements, including the need for smoke detectors, fire extinguishers, and self-closing doors; these violations were all abated by April 2009. A single fire violation was recorded in 2006 regarding smoke detector requirements. The property has experienced some recent challenges with street-facing maintenance, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in 2024 regarding garbage, debris, and parking issues in the vicinity. While there was one fire incident recorded (a contained cooking fire with no injuries) and a system malfunction, neither posed significant risks to residents. Recent building inspections and permits suggest that while the property has had its share of historical compliance issues, these have generally been addressed through subsequent improvements and corrections.

Risk rating

How 367-371 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, 380 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.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

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 51.0%
Moderate concern 18.1%
Severe concern 30.9%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
