Initial analysis

The three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building at 1624-1628 Hayes Street in the Park North neighborhood, built in 1895, has undergone several significant improvements and maintenance work over the past two decades. The most recent major upgrade was completed in 2018, involving the replacement of nine window sashes with energy-efficient wood units. Earlier improvements included a trenchless sewer installation in 2016, conversion to a tankless water heater in 2011, and extensive electrical work in 2003 that added new lighting and electrical circuits throughout the property.

The building has faced some maintenance challenges, particularly in the early 2000s, with documentation showing bathroom remodels and plumbing issues being addressed, including dry rot repairs in 2002. A routine safety inspection was conducted in January 2017 by Housing Inspection Services, though no active concerns were noted in the records. Recent events have primarily involved external factors, with multiple reports of parking violations and driveway blockages in 2024, as well as some ongoing issues with street maintenance and sanitation near the property. Two incidents were recorded involving emergency services: one for elevator rescue and the other for an outside rubbish fire, neither resulting in civilian injuries. The property's maintenance history shows regular upkeep and system upgrades, though the concentration of recent 311 calls suggests ongoing challenges with parking enforcement in the immediate vicinity.

Risk rating

How 1624-1628 Hayes 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
