Initial analysis

The 12-unit, 3-story apartment building at 1555 Oak Street, built in 1925 and currently owned by Stockton SF LLC, has undergone significant recent renovations, including the addition of three ADUs, major unit remodels, and critical safety upgrades. The property, which has completed its soft-story seismic retrofit requirements, has seen comprehensive improvements to its infrastructure, including the installation of a new fire sprinkler system throughout the ground floor, upgrading the fire alarm system, and replacing the building's heating system with new boilers and tankless water heaters. Between 2021 and 2024, multiple units (including 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, and 11) received substantial remodels featuring bathroom and kitchen renovations, with some units being converted into additional bedrooms.

The building has experienced several compliance challenges, particularly during 2021-2022, including unauthorized work and permit violations. Notable complaints during this period involved unpermitted demolition work, hazardous material handling concerns, and work being performed beyond the scope of approved permits, particularly related to the garage area and unit modifications. These issues, though marked as "not active" or "abated," suggest periods of construction management challenges. More recently, in November 2023, there was a complaint regarding sidewalk work and construction signage, though this complaint is currently listed as "not active." The property has maintained compliance with its soft-story retrofit requirements and has addressed major fire safety concerns through the installation of new systems.

Risk rating

How 1555 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
