Initial analysis

1250 Haight Street is a four-story, 40-unit multi-family residential building located in the Haight Ashbury neighborhood. Originally built in 1914 and later converted to senior apartments in 2004, the property underwent significant renovation at that time, costing $3.5 million, to adaptively reuse a former church building while preserving its shell. The building's fire safety systems have been a recurring focus, with the most recent work occurring in 2023-2024 including a fire alarm system replacement and related testing to comply with San Francisco Fire Code requirements. Recent improvements include the installation of heat pump water heaters and a new heat pump system completed in June 2024.

The building's maintenance record shows regular upkeep, including a completed re-roofing project in 2020 costing $13,000. While there have been several fire safety violations noted over the years, most have been promptly corrected; the most recent violation from November 2023 regarding sleeping area requirements was abated. A notable tenant complaint from 2017 involved unit 310 storing recycling and bottles in the hallway, creating an egress obstruction, though this issue appears to have been resolved. Recent public interactions around the property have primarily involved routine street maintenance and parking enforcement issues, with multiple reports of illegal parking and debris collection between 2024-2025, though these are more indicative of the neighborhood's external environment rather than building-specific concerns.

Risk rating

How 1250 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
2th percentile

Out of 581 buildings in this neighborhood, 569 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 9.5%
Moderate concern 69.3%
Severe concern 21.2%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
