Initial analysis

The property at 1809-1811 Oak Street in Haight Ashbury is a two-story, 4-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1904, currently owned by Leatrice Burstein Trust. The building has undergone several maintenance and repair works over the years, with the most recent significant intervention being a full top floor remodel in 2019. Historical records show recurring issues with exterior wood decay, including a 2006 repair of minor dry rot around a window in apartment #2 and a 2001 project involving wood siding replacement on the building's rear. A substantial series of violations was documented in July 2000, which were all abated by June 2002; these included concerns about lead paint hazards, water heater issues, egress obstructions, and fire safety equipment (fire extinguishers and smoke detectors) that required attention.

The building has faced various external maintenance challenges as reflected in 311 calls, including reports of graffiti in 2019 (both offensive and not offensive), sidewalk parking violations in 2020, and issues with loose garbage requiring street cleaning in 2020. The property has also experienced parking enforcement matters, including three documented cases of driveway blocking between 2020 and 2024. A concerning incident was reported in 1997 regarding exposed nails in front wooden trim, though this was quickly resolved. The building has undergone routine inspections by Housing Inspection Services at various intervals (1996, 2006, 2011), suggesting regular oversight of habitable conditions. While the property has experienced multiple maintenance issues over the years, most have been addressed promptly, with particular attention to historical concerns about lead paint safety and various structural elements requiring upkeep.

Risk rating

How 1809-1811 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
