Initial analysis

The three-story, five-unit multi-family residential building at 1466-1470 Waller Street in the Haight Ashbury neighborhood has a complex history dating back to its construction in 1904. The property experienced a significant fire incident in September 2020 that caused structural damage, particularly in the lightwell of the upper floor, rendering unit 1470B temporarily uninhabitable and affecting other units with water and smoke damage. This event triggered a series of rehabilitation efforts, including comprehensive electrical repairs, bathroom upgrades, and plumbing work in 2022, followed by more recent substantial renovations in 2024 involving the relocation of units 1468A and 1470A to the ground floor, expansion of units 1470 and 1468, and stair modifications. The building has undergone various safety and infrastructure improvements, including structural strengthening work in 2022, replacement of interior posts and footings in 2023, and the installation of fire sprinklers in early 2024. Notably, the building achieved compliance with San Francisco's Soft Story program requirements, with work completed and a Certificate of Final Completion issued.

The property has a documented history of building violations and complaints, primarily during the 2000s and early 2010s, including issues related to fire safety, stairs, and exterior doors, all of which have been resolved. Recent improvements have focused on modernizing the building's infrastructure, including plumbing and electrical systems, with substantial investment in unit upgrades. The most recent building permits indicate significant ongoing work, including the installation of fire sprinklers and comprehensive unit renovations. The property has maintained its legal unit count of five throughout various redevelopment phases, with recent work properly documented through required permits. While there have been several 311 calls regarding external issues like graffiti and sidewalk conditions, these are not uncommon for urban properties and do not directly reflect on the building's internal conditions.

Risk rating

How 1466-1470 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.
