Initial analysis

The property at 1437-1441 Hayes Street in Park North is a 2-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1890 and currently owned by Rafter Family Revocable Trust. The building has undergone several significant improvements in recent years, with the most recent work focusing on a major kitchen remodel in 2024 (valued at $110,000) that includes plumbing and electrical upgrades. An important electrical upgrade is also underway, with a 200-amp service upgrade for the building scheduled for October 2024, representing a substantial modernization of the building's infrastructure. The property has maintained a regular schedule of improvements over the years, including a bathroom remodel in 2016, and significant electrical and plumbing upgrades to support various renovations.

Historical records show that the building underwent termite repairs in 2005, and has been subject to routine safety inspections by Housing Inspection Services in 2009, 2012, and 2017, with no recorded violations or ongoing concerns. The property's maintenance history suggests proactive upkeep, with multiple bathroom renovations (2010 and 2016) and the installation of a gas fireplace with associated plumbing work in 2016. While there have been several 311 calls regarding the immediate vicinity of the building between 2016 and 2024, these primarily relate to external issues such as graffiti, sidewalk maintenance, and street cleaning matters, rather than building-specific concerns. The building was involved in a lot width variance case (closed) that legalized the subdivision of a 50-foot wide lot, indicating proper compliance with zoning and development requirements.

Risk rating

How 1437-1441 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.
