Initial analysis

The two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 1688-1690 Page Street in Haight Ashbury, owned by Greg Aronov, has a notable history dating back to its 1900 construction. The most significant recent activity involves an ongoing project (under review) proposing substantial rear horizontal additions to all three floors, interior alterations to both units, and various structural and lighting improvements, including a rear expansion of Unit #1 and modifications to lightwells. Earlier maintenance work includes a 2013 repair of dry rot damage on the first story rear wall, and in 2016, the replacement of a water heater. Historical records show several completed projects from the 1980s and 1990s, including kitchen remodels and garage improvements.

The building has experienced recurring issues with street maintenance and public space cleanliness in recent months, with multiple reports of garbage, debris, and graffiti on and around the property between September and December 2024. Parking violations have also been documented, including sidewalk parking and blocked driveways, though these are external to the building itself. A single fire-related incident was recorded involving a carbon monoxide detector activation with no CO detected and no civilian injuries. While the ongoing construction plans suggest significant improvements to the property, the recent pattern of exterior maintenance issues indicates some attention may be needed to the building's surrounding environment.

Risk rating

How 1688-1690 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
84th percentile

Out of 581 buildings in this neighborhood, 93 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.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

DBI complaint rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building complaint rate across the owner's portfolio.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 78.5%
Moderate concern 12.9%
Severe concern 8.6%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
