Initial analysis

The property at 1575-1579 Oak Street is a 3-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building located in the Haight Ashbury neighborhood, built in 1904 and currently owned by Francena Cranshaw Revocable Trust. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over its history, with the most recent being a series of plumbing and electrical upgrades in 2015, including water heater restrapping, valve changes, and electrical outlet updates. In late 2014, the building faced multiple safety concerns, including missing guardrails on exterior stairs, roof leaks affecting bathroom ceilings, and bathroom ceiling deterioration. These issues led to permits being pulled in early 2015 to replace steps and handrails at the rear of the building to address safety violations. The building has a documented history of stairway maintenance problems, with repair work required in 2003, 2005, and 2015, suggesting ongoing challenges with the rear stairs.

More concerning is a significant fire incident recorded in 2006, which caused considerable damage (over $30,000) and raised serious safety concerns about fire exit access. The property has also undergone various infrastructure improvements over the years, including a 2004 electrical system upgrade to a 200-amp underground conversion and a 2010 sewer line replacement. Historical violations from 2002-2003 related to lead paint hazards, exterior paint conditions, and security issues were addressed and abated. The recent 311 calls from 2023-2024 primarily relate to street cleaning and sidewalk maintenance issues in the surrounding area, including reports of debris, waste, and tree-related concerns, though these external issues don't directly impact building residents' safety or habitability.

Risk rating

How 1575-1579 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
54th percentile

Out of 581 buildings in this neighborhood, 267 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 59.0%
Moderate concern 19.5%
Severe concern 21.5%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
