Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 1308-1312 Hayes Street in the Park North neighborhood, constructed in 1900, has experienced significant recent events, most notably a serious fire incident in January 2023 that caused extensive structural damage rendering the building unsafe and uninhabitable, with specific damage reported to the west property line walls, rear stairs, and water damage throughout the building. The fire incident led to multiple subsequent repair and safety improvements, including a comprehensive $2 million fire damage repair project in August 2023 that addressed basement damage in all three units (1308, 1310, and 1312), roof replacement, complete electrical rewiring, and restoration of interior and exterior finishes. Following the fire, hazardous materials including asbestos and lead were safely removed from the site in March 2023, and current work in 2024 has focused on installing a new fire sprinkler system, upgrading electrical panels and wiring throughout the building, and modernizing plumbing systems including kitchen and bathroom updates for all three units.

The building's history shows recurring safety and maintenance concerns, particularly regarding the basement areas, which have been documented in multiple complaints between 1994 and 2013, including issues with inadequate egress, ventilation, and lighting. Historical permits from the early 2000s indicate various maintenance work including reroofing and repairs to decks and stairs. A series of 311 calls from November 2024 to January 2025 have been recorded, primarily relating to construction-related debris and sidewalk blockages during ongoing repair work, though these are not unusual for a building undergoing significant renovations. The property has also undergone transformations with respect to fire safety, as evidenced by the installation of a new fire sprinkler system in 2024 and the comprehensive electrical system upgrades currently underway, including installation of smoke/carbon monoxide detectors and modern safety features.

Risk rating

How 1308-1312 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
29th percentile

Out of 797 buildings in this neighborhood, 566 are predicted to be safer.
