Initial analysis

The property at 921-923 Haight Street is a three-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in the Buena Vista Park neighborhood, currently owned by John E & Ina F Dearman Rvc, and built in 1900. The building has undergone significant improvements over recent years, including the installation of a Lula elevator in 2019 (completed in 2021 with associated electrical work), and the addition of a 4.93 kW solar power system with 17 PV modules in 2019. The property's infrastructure has seen various updates, including a sewer repair in August 2022, though there have been recurring issues with the side sewer vent cover, with complaints registered in 2024 and 2023.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to safety and modernization, with plumbing work related to the elevator installation in 2019 (later canceled) and electrical upgrades completed. Historical records from 2002-2003 indicate a series of violations related to safety and security, including issues with stairs, guardrails, and security requirements, all of which were resolved by May 2003. Recent 311 calls primarily relate to parking enforcement matters, with multiple reports of sidewalk parking and driveway blocking between 2023-2024, though these are external issues not directly related to building conditions. The property has maintained regular inspections, including a routine housing inspection in 2009, indicating ongoing oversight of building conditions. While the building is over 120 years old, the recent improvements suggest active management and maintenance of the property, though the recurring sewer vent cover issue might indicate some infrastructure challenges.

Risk rating

How 921-923 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
36th percentile

Out of 351 buildings in this neighborhood, 225 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.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

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

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 63.9%
Moderate concern 17.9%
Severe concern 18.2%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
