Initial analysis

The property at 1390-1392 Haight Street is a three-story mixed-use building containing 5 residential units and ground-floor commercial space, owned by the Carl Edward Olson Revocable Trust and built in 1900. The building has undergone several important safety and infrastructure improvements in recent years, including a major fire alarm system upgrade in 2021 (completed) and the installation of a CO2 system in 2019 (issued). Significant commercial space improvements occurred in 2018 when the ground-floor restaurant was reclassified from "B" use to comply with current A-2 restaurant codes, with work including the addition of a second exit for safety compliance (issued). The property experienced multiple building violations in mid-2017, particularly related to fire safety, electrical systems, and interior surfaces, though most were abated by February 2018. A recurring issue was documented regarding unauthorized use of the basement as a brewery without proper permits, which led to violations in late 2017 related to construction without proper approvals and the installation of a liquid CO2 system.

The building's maintenance history reveals various infrastructure upgrades, including plumbing improvements such as new tankless water heaters and backflow devices in 2016-2019. Earlier structural issues were addressed in 2007 with dry rot repairs to rear stairs. Recent activities in 2024-2025 have primarily involved exterior maintenance and graffiti removal. The fire safety record shows multiple alarm activations (mostly due to system malfunctions) and three documented fire incidents, including one gas leak in the vicinity, though none resulted in civilian injuries. All historical violations have either been resolved or rescinded, including fire permit violations from 2017, and recent inspections indicate compliance with current fire safety standards. The building's planning records confirm various approvals for continued restaurant/bar use and modifications to meet ADA and egress requirements, as well as for limited live performances.

Risk rating

How 1390-1392 Haight 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
27th percentile

Out of 581 buildings in this neighborhood, 424 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 size

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

Number of units

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

Building age

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 44.4%
Moderate concern 34.9%
Severe concern 20.7%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
