Initial analysis

The 6-unit apartment building at 1418-1422 Waller Street, owned by the Shadi Rostami Living Trust, is a three-story multi-family residential structure built in 1905 in the Haight Ashbury neighborhood. The property has undergone significant renovations over the past several years, with major improvements including kitchen and bathroom remodels across multiple units (completed in 2020-2021), window replacements (12 windows on the front and back of the building), and substantial electrical upgrades (including panel replacements and new electrical installations). Earlier work from 2016-2018 addressed critical infrastructure, including sewer line repairs, electrical panel upgrades, plumbing improvements, and furnace installations. The building did experience some regulatory scrutiny in 2003, with multiple housing code violations related to stair repairs, fire safety issues, and roof deck concerns, though these were all successfully abated by August 14, 2003. Recent inspections and 311 calls (from late 2024) primarily relate to street-level concerns such as graffiti, parking issues, and sidewalk cleaning, rather than building-specific problems. Two carbon monoxide detector activations were reported, though no actual CO presence was detected in either instance. The building's maintenance history suggests active management, with regular updates to both individual units and building systems, though some permits from 2018 show an "Expired" status that may warrant verification of completion.

Risk rating

How 1418-1422 Waller 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
58th percentile

Out of 581 buildings in this neighborhood, 244 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.

Property class: single-family home

Single-family homes (class A) have distinct violation and complaint patterns from multi-family buildings.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 62.8%
Moderate concern 22.2%
Severe concern 15.0%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
