Initial analysis

The property at 1845-1847 Hayes Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in the Park North neighborhood, constructed in 1909 and currently owned by Teresa Palmer and Art Cartier. The building has undergone several significant infrastructure improvements in recent years, with the most recent work being the installation of a heat pump water heater and related electrical work completed in early 2024, following earlier upgrades including a 200-amp service installation and electric stove conversion in 2022. Historical maintenance records show previous improvements including reroofing work in 1994 and stair replacements in the lightwell in 2006, though the 1994 roofing permit expired.

The property has experienced multiple maintenance and public space issues in recent months, particularly during 2023-2024, with several reports of graffiti (most recently in December 2024), multiple instances of abandoned furniture and debris on the street/sidewalk areas (most recently in September 2024), and various general cleaning requests including one for medical waste removal in July 2023. The building's exterior maintenance has required attention, as evidenced by the recent graffiti and debris reports. While these external issues have been addressed promptly through appropriate channels, they indicate ongoing challenges related to the building's immediate surroundings. The property management has demonstrated proactive maintenance of essential systems, as shown by the recent comprehensive upgrades to heating and electrical systems, suggesting a commitment to maintaining the building's core infrastructure.

Risk rating

How 1845-1847 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.
