Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family residential building at 1548 Page Street, located in the Haight Ashbury neighborhood, has a documented history of significant safety and maintenance events, particularly relating to fire incidents. Most notably, the building experienced two major fire-related events, first in 2009 and then again in 2013, with the 2009 incident leading to substantial repairs including reconstruction of rear stairs, electrical system updates, and fire-related damage repairs costing $100,000. The 2013 incident involved attic fire repairs and further HVAC system updates. Following the 2009 fire, the building received multiple systems upgrades including a comprehensive electrical system overhaul with new panels and circuits, plumbing improvements including multiple bathroom and laundry installations, and the replacement of all furnaces.

More recent concerns include a 2020 fire violation regarding blocked exits/fire escapes that was subsequently abated, and an ongoing issue with potential parking violations on the property's approach area, with multiple MTA parking enforcement calls in late 2024 and early 2025. There is also a documented complaint from September 2019 regarding a vehicle obstructing the public right-of-way, though this violation was marked as not active. Historical records show the building underwent reroofing work in 2000, and all documented permits from previous years have been marked as complete, with the exception of a few expired permits in 2009 related to more extensive system installations. While the building has experienced several significant incidents requiring major repairs and upgrades, records indicate that most known safety issues have been addressed through proper permits and corrective actions.

Risk rating

How 1548 Page 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
57th percentile

Out of 581 buildings in this neighborhood, 250 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.

DBI tenant complaints (past 7 years)

Formal complaints tenants filed with DBI about this building over 7 years.

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.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 48.6%
Moderate concern 33.1%
Severe concern 18.3%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
