Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1177 Oak Street in the Haight Ashbury neighborhood, owned by David Trinh, is a two-story flats and duplex structure constructed in 1900. The building underwent significant maintenance work in 1988, including foundation replacement with new concrete footings, front stairs repair, and multiple interior improvements such as window replacement and kitchen and bathroom remodeling. However, the property has experienced recurring issues with graffiti in recent months, with multiple incidents reported between August and December 2024, affecting various surfaces including the sidewalk, building structure, and poles. The area around the building has seen various parking-related complaints in 2024, including reports of blocked bike lanes and driveways, though most of these cases were either resolved without enforcement or noted for data collection purposes.

The building's safety record includes several fire-related incidents, though none resulted in injuries or actual fires. These incidents primarily involved alarm system malfunctions and one natural gas leak incident. A hoarding complaint from March 2014 was promptly addressed and resolved the same day. Older building permit records from 1988 show attention to structural issues, including repairs to dry rot and termite damage, though some of these permits are now listed as expired. The property has ongoing maintenance needs as evidenced by recent 311 calls, including requests for street and environmental services, indicating that both the building and its immediate surroundings require regular upkeep.

Risk rating

How 1177 Oak 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
