Initial analysis

1565 Oak Street is a completed three-story, 12-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1927 in the Haight-Ashbury neighborhood, currently owned by Kim Annie Inja. The property has undergone significant improvements over the past several years, particularly focused on safety upgrades and unit renovations. Most notably, a comprehensive fire alarm system upgrade was completed in 2023 to comply with San Francisco Fire Code requirements, followed by additional fire alarm modifications in early 2024. The building has been active in addressing safety concerns, achieving "Work Complete, CFC Issued" status for its Tier 3 soft-story retrofit program, and maintaining regular fire safety compliance with no active fire complaints as of 2024.

The property has seen extensive interior improvements across multiple units between 2016-2021, including complete remodels of units 11, 2, 3, and 7, with substantial plumbing and electrical upgrades in each unit. Major building-wide improvements include the installation of a new fire sprinkler system in 2016-2017, various electrical system upgrades, and multiple plumbing system updates. While there were several building violations identified in 2002 related to security and fire safety, all were promptly addressed by January 2004. Recent maintenance issues have been minimal, with the most recent 2024 complaints relating to fire escape ladder maintenance and general maintenance, both of which were resolved. The building has experienced typical residential incidents such as unintentional alarm activations and a contained cooking fire, none of which resulted in injuries or significant damage.

Risk rating

How 1565 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, 511 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

NOV rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building NOV rate across everything this owner manages — high rates signal pattern neglect.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 24.1%
Moderate concern 36.5%
Severe concern 39.4%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
