Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1855-1857 Hayes Street in Park North, owned by Craig Mcdermit, is a two-story flats and duplex structure constructed in 1909. The building's documented history shows minimal major maintenance activity, with only one significant building permit on record from 1988 for reroofing work, which has since expired. More recent attention to the property has focused primarily on exterior maintenance issues, particularly street and sidewalk conditions. The most recent incidents involve abandoned furniture (September 2024) and multiple instances of loose garbage (October 2023, May 2023, and January 2023), all of which were resolved through Recology and DPW intervention.

The property has experienced recurring issues with illegal postings and graffiti between 2015 and 2022, with at least six documented cases of improper postings and two instances of offensive graffiti during this period. While these exterior maintenance issues have been consistently addressed by city services, the frequency of reports suggests ongoing challenges with maintaining the immediate building surroundings. It's worth noting that all reported cases have been officially closed or resolved, though some did not specify the nature of the resolution beyond "No Action Described."

Risk rating

How 1855-1857 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

Out of 797 buildings in this neighborhood, 335 are predicted to be safer.
