Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1206-1208 Haight Street in the Haight Ashbury neighborhood is owned by Danielle Galante and was constructed in 1908 as a two-story flats/duplex structure. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the years, with the most recent major upgrades including the installation of rooftop solar panels in 2015 (two separate installations totaling 3.9kw) and a main sewer line replacement in 2007. Between 2006-2019, unit 1208 received substantial interior upgrades including bathroom and kitchen remodeling, though there were some complaints during this period about inadequate plumbing and unsanitary bathrooms, which were reportedly addressed. The building's maintenance history shows attention to structural elements, with repairs to windows, roofing work in 1999, and electrical system upgrades including the installation of various fixtures and circuits in 2006.

The property has experienced a few concerning incidents, including a carbon monoxide incident and two smoke detector activations due to malfunction, though fortunately no civilian injuries were reported in these events. There were also several historical complaints about unauthorized units and illegal renovations, primarily from 1998-2001, which were all marked as abated and not currently active. Recent maintenance issues have primarily involved external concerns, with multiple complaints about graffiti and illegal postings on or near the property being reported and addressed between 2024-2025. The building's systems appear to be regularly updated, with historical permits showing attention to various building components including windows, stairs, and bathroom facilities. Recent 311 calls indicate some ongoing maintenance needs, particularly regarding external graffiti removal and street cleaning issues, though these do not directly impact the building's internal conditions.

Risk rating

How 1206-1208 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
88th percentile

Out of 581 buildings in this neighborhood, 70 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 age

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

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

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 81.3%
Moderate concern 13.5%
Severe concern 5.2%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
