Initial analysis

The property at 1225-1227 Hayes Street in Alamo Square is a two-story, two-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by the Mathalon Ford Living Trust. The building has undergone several significant renovations over the past decade, including substantial kitchen and bathroom remodels in 2015 (costing approximately $33,000 combined), work on kitchen-family room connections (2012), and various infrastructure improvements such as termite repairs (2007) and foundation work (2008). The property has also seen earlier significant improvements including a horizontal addition (1998), reroofing (1999), and foundation stabilization work. Recent years have shown consistent maintenance activity, with the most recent significant work completed in 2016, including final inspections for various plumbing and electrical updates.

The building's recent history (2023-2024) has been marked by several parking enforcement issues, with multiple reports of driveway blocking incidents (seven documented cases), though most resulted in officers being unable to locate the offending vehicles. There have also been several graffiti-related incidents in mid-2024, three of which were documented through 311 calls, with some requiring cleanup by city crews. The property appears to be regularly maintained based on the pattern of completed permits and inspections, with no documented safety concerns or major structural issues in the most recent history, though the frequency of driveway blockage complaints may indicate ongoing challenges with parking enforcement in the area.

Risk rating

How 1225-1227 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
77th percentile

Out of 305 buildings in this neighborhood, 70 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.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

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

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 71.9%
Moderate concern 16.9%
Severe concern 11.2%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
