Initial analysis

The three-story, 12-unit apartment building at 1890 Page Street in the Haight-Ashbury neighborhood, built in 1900 and currently owned by Win Schachter & Frank Plaie, has undergone several significant safety and infrastructure improvements over the past decade. Most notably, in 2020, the building completed an upgrade to its fire system (cost: $10,500) to meet modern safety standards, including the installation of new radio communication and low-frequency horns. In early 2025, crucial sewer lateral repairs were completed, addressing infrastructure needs on the Shrader Street side of the property. The building has maintained regular safety inspections and has addressed various maintenance issues, including reroofing work in 2014 (cost: $40,000) and voluntary lateral support reinforcement in 2015 (cost: $60,000).

Historical records show that the building experienced some fire safety compliance issues in 2006, with violations related to fire escape ladder maintenance and egress obstructions, though these were promptly resolved within weeks of being issued. The property has also been subject to routine housing inspections over the years, including a notable incident in 2022 regarding improper painting procedures, though most inspection-related complaints have been resolved promptly. Recent 311 calls from late 2024 and early 2025 primarily concerned routine urban issues such as garbage collection and parking enforcement, rather than building-specific problems. The building's history shows attention to maintaining structural integrity and safety systems, with recent plumbing work indicating ongoing infrastructure maintenance.

Risk rating

How 1890 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
8th percentile

Out of 581 buildings in this neighborhood, 535 are predicted to be safer.
