Initial analysis

The 4-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 524-530 Shrader Street in the Haight Ashbury neighborhood was built in 1906 and is currently owned by San Francisco Real Estate I. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the past two decades. Most recently, in 2016, the property had a furnace replacement that required both plumbing and drywall work, along with some street space permits. Between 2014-2016, multiple repairs were completed including gas line relocation, electrical work for a bathroom fan, and various plumbing improvements. There were no active violations noted in recent years, with all historical building deficiencies being addressed and abated, including past issues with rain leaders, lightwell drainage, and stair repairs which were resolved by 2006. A notable incident was reported in 2016 regarding unpermitted work on the interior and exterior of the building, though this complaint was marked as not active.

The building has experienced recurring issues with its exterior infrastructure, particularly in the early 2000s, when problems with drainage systems and gutters were documented through multiple complaints. A combustible materials situation was noted and promptly corrected in August 2012. The most recent complaints related to the property have been primarily regarding exterior conditions such as loose garbage (2023) and illegal postings (2023), which were both resolved. External maintenance issues in the vicinity of the building, such as sidewalk cleaning and pavement defects, have been occasionally reported through 311 calls between 2013 and 2023, though these are municipal street-related matters rather than building-specific concerns. The building's permit history shows regular maintenance and upgrades being performed, with no major structural or safety issues reported in recent years, and all historical violations have been properly resolved.

Risk rating

How 524-530 Shrader 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
