Initial analysis

The three-story, 10-unit multi-family residential building at 1473 Oak Street in Haight Ashbury, owned by John & Linda Muhawieh Rvc T, has experienced several significant events since its construction in 1900. The building underwent an electrical service upgrade in 2004, converting to an underground service with 11 meters and 150A capacity. A major cluster of building violations was documented in late 2002, primarily relating to fire safety and building maintenance issues, including problems with the laundry room, fire escape, fire extinguisher compliance, door security, and handrail requirements - all of which were subsequently abated by February 2004. More recent concerns have focused on fire alarm systems, with multiple complaints recorded between 2015 and 2023, including a violation in December 2019 that was marked as abated. The building has also faced some structural and safety issues, such as a buckling bathroom ceiling noted in 1998, a 2006 complaint about an illegal roof deck, and a 2008 routine inspection that remains active as of 2023.

The property has generated numerous 311 calls in recent years, primarily relating to issues outside the building like abandoned vehicles and graffiti, though these external matters don't directly reflect on building conditions. The most recent internal building issue was a common areas complaint filed in January 2024, which was resolved by February 2024. The history of fire safety compliance issues is notable, with multiple incidents requiring correction between 2015 and 2019, though there have been no fire-related complaints recorded since 2019. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of addressing violations and complaints, with most issues being marked as resolved, though an active routine inspection from 2008 remains outstanding as of the latest available data.

Risk rating

How 1473 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

Out of 581 buildings in this neighborhood, 401 are predicted to be safer.
