Initial analysis

The four-unit multi-family residential building at 937 Haight Street, owned by Steven Yeung, has undergone substantial renovations in recent years, with the most significant work occurring between 2021 and 2024. The property, constructed in 1900, has seen major interior improvements including a complete interior floor remodel of units 1, 2, and 4 in 2021 ($220,000), followed by additional revisions in 2022 ($40,000). In 2023 and early 2024, comprehensive updates were completed across multiple units, including kitchen and bathroom remodels, laundry installations, electrical rewiring of units 2 and 4, and installation of new furnaces with PVC flues for units 1, 2, and 4. A foundation repair was also performed in 2022.

The building has a history of routine housing inspections, with the most recent regular inspection occurring in 2016, which identified several safety and security issues that were promptly resolved within a week, including the installation of handrails, carbon monoxide detectors, and security improvements such as deadlatch locks and self-closing doors. Recent maintenance issues reported through 311 calls have primarily involved exterior matters such as illegal postings, tree damage, and parking violations, though these are external to the building's condition itself. The property's renovation work has been substantial and ongoing, with careful attention to maintaining existing interior wall framing and addressing both aesthetic and functional improvements across all units.

Risk rating

How 937 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
55th percentile

Out of 351 buildings in this neighborhood, 158 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 age

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

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 72.2%
Moderate concern 20.6%
Severe concern 7.2%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
