Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1454-1456 Hayes Street in Park North is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1900, currently owned by the James M Fishman Revocable L trust. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past decades, including a comprehensive kitchen and bathroom remodel with new cabinets, tile flooring, countertops, and windows completed in 1996, followed by foundation work that involved wood sill plate replacement and bolting down footings. In 2006, a $15,500 reroofing project was completed, and in 2014, the building received important infrastructure upgrades with the installation of new sewer and house traps. A fire-related violation was issued in June 2006 regarding work done without proper permits, though this appears to have been resolved.

More recent history of the property shows ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly with the exterior and infrastructure. The building has experienced recurring sidewalk issues, with complaints filed in 2022 and 2023 regarding lifted and collapsed sidewalk conditions, which were attributed to root damage. The area around the building has faced persistent graffiti issues, with multiple reports between 2021-2024, including incidents involving bike racks, the sidewalk, and nearby poles. The property has also had occasional parking-related concerns, including reports of vehicles blocking driveways and parking on sidewalks. Three sidewalk-related issues (including a collapsed sidewalk) were reported in 2023, and while most have been labeled as "Closed Case Resolved," the resolution details suggest ongoing attention to these infrastructure challenges.

Risk rating

How 1454-1456 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
81th percentile

Out of 797 buildings in this neighborhood, 151 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 age

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

Property class: multi-family flat

2–4 unit flats (class F) are a common SF building type with their own maintenance and complaint patterns.

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 72.0%
Moderate concern 15.2%
Severe concern 12.8%
