Initial analysis

The 6-unit, 4-story multi-family residential building located at 1285 Oak St in Haight Ashbury, owned by Khavul Family 2000 Revoc Tr, was constructed in 1912 and has undergone several significant improvements over the years. Most recently, in August 2023, a fire safety upgrade was performed to connect existing fire sprinkler pipes to the water meter on the sidewalk, with similar work permitted for completion in December 2024. The building has seen substantial unit improvements, particularly between 2009-2012, when all six units received various renovations including bathroom and kitchen remodels, electrical upgrades, and the installation of a fire sprinkler system during basement renovations. In 2017, a mandatory soft-story retrofit permit was withdrawn, but the building received a violation notice in 2019 for failing to comply with this earthquake safety requirement, which was finally resolved by June 2022.

The property has experienced several maintenance and habitability issues over the years, with violations recorded in 2002 (stairs repair and gas meter requirements) and 2006 (multiple interior and exterior issues including deteriorated drainage pipes, damaged walls, broken windows, and lead paint concerns). More recent tenant complaints in 2008-2010 reported various maintenance problems including water leaks, low water pressure, and appliance issues. The building underwent significant improvements during the 2010-2012 period, including electrical system upgrades across all units, new furnaces installation, and comprehensive fire safety enhancements. Recent 311 calls from December 2024 through January 2025 have primarily related to street cleaning and graffiti removal, indicating exterior maintenance is generally handled through city services.

Risk rating

How 1285 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
