Initial analysis

The 34-unit apartment building at 600 Stanyan Street, located in the Haight-Ashbury neighborhood, is a four-story structure built in 1902 currently owned by Stanyan At Oak Apts LP. The building has undergone significant renovations and safety upgrades over the past several years, most notably in 2017 when four new dwelling units were added at the ground floor, along with substantial electrical and plumbing improvements including a complete rewiring project and gas line relocation work. The building's fire safety systems have been a particular focus of attention, with multiple upgrades including a new fire alarm system, additional fire system components, and sprinkler protections added in various units between 2014-2018. Recent building maintenance issues have been documented, with the most recent violation issued in November 2023 regarding sleeping area requirements. The building has a history of fire safety concerns, with past violations related to alarm systems, sprinkler systems, and combustible materials. While the property has experienced periodic issues with its fire alarm system (documented as "False alarm or false call" incidents), none have resulted in civilian injuries. Recent maintenance concerns primarily relate to graffiti and structural maintenance matters, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in late 2024/early 2025. The building's historical records indicate earlier problems with unauthorized work and permit compliance, including a notable fire incident in 2000 believed to be related to unpermitted electrical work. However, many of these issues appear to have been addressed through subsequent renovations and the implementation of updated safety systems.

Risk rating

How 600 Stanyan 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
3th percentile

Out of 581 buildings in this neighborhood, 564 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Neighborhood location

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 15.5%
Moderate concern 53.5%
Severe concern 31.0%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
