Initial analysis

Located in the Haight Ashbury neighborhood, the three-unit multi-family residential building at 1165-1169 Oak Street was built in 1900 and is currently owned by Huang Angeles & Qiang. The property has undergone several significant renovations and faced various maintenance challenges over the past few decades. Most recently, in 2018, improvements included the construction of a utility room for furnace and water heater access, followed by a complete electrical relocation of the sub-panel in early 2019. Between 2017-2018, the building addressed multiple violations related to fire safety, including garage ceiling repairs with fire-proof materials and various code compliance issues, all of which were completed and abated by mid-2018. Earlier improvements from 2005 included substantial remodeling work on one flat, with bathroom and kitchen expansions, structural beam installations, and comprehensive electrical work. The building has faced several recurring issues, including a notable complaint in 2017 regarding mold, dry rot, and security concerns, though these were subsequently resolved.

Recent maintenance history shows ongoing challenges with garbage and debris management around the property, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls between November 2024 and January 2025, though these mostly pertain to exterior issues rather than building conditions. The only recorded fire incident was a water or steam leak, with no civilian injuries reported. The building's permit history suggests active management of maintenance and compliance issues, with most work being completed within reasonable timeframes. While the property has experienced periodic violations and complaints, recent permit activity indicates continued investment in building improvements and regulatory compliance. The most recent building-related issues have primarily involved exterior maintenance and waste management rather than interior habitability concerns.

Risk rating

How 1165-1169 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
51th percentile

Out of 581 buildings in this neighborhood, 285 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.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

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.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 56.6%
Moderate concern 20.5%
Severe concern 22.8%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
