Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family residence at 1359-1365 Oak Street in the Haight Ashbury neighborhood, owned by Pacific Century Real Estate, is a 5-unit apartment building constructed in 1900. The property has undergone significant seismic improvements, including a completed mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2023 costing $65,000, with minor foundation revisions completed in 2024. Other major improvements include reroofing work completed in 2021 ($12,000), extensive unit renovations in 2013 (bathrooms, kitchens, electrical systems), and various plumbing upgrades. A notable building expansion attempt occurred in 2017 with a proposed additional ground floor unit, but the permits were cancelled. The property faced several compliance issues in 2012-2013 regarding expired permits and construction without proper authorization, which resulted in multiple building violations regarding fire safety, security, and maintenance requirements. These violations were abated by September 2013.

The building's infrastructure has seen substantial upgrades over the years, including an electrical service upgrade in 2013, conversion to underground utilities in 2006, and various plumbing improvements dating back to 2006-2013 for bathroom and kitchen remodels. A fire incident was recorded as unintentional, though no civilian injuries were reported. Recent maintenance issues have primarily involved exterior concerns, with multiple reports of garbage and debris in 2024, along with graffiti removal and sign repair requests. While the property has a history of permit compliance issues, particularly in 2012-2013, most recent major systems upgrades and the completed soft-story retrofit suggest improved attention to regulatory requirements. The building's most recent inspection records show no active violations or complaints related to the mandatory soft-story retrofit program, which indicates that this critical safety upgrade has been successfully completed with a Certificate of Final Completion (CFC) issued.

Risk rating

How 1359-1365 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.
