Initial analysis

The 4-unit multi-family residential building at 1535-1541 Haight Street, owned by the Christine A Neer Trust, has undergone several significant renovations and faced a few compliance issues since its construction in 1907. The property has seen multiple improvements between 2010-2012, including kitchen and bathroom renovations, window installations, electrical upgrades, and plumbing work such as the installation of a grease trap and central heating system. Notable recent violations include an active complaint from January 2023 regarding an unpermitted awning installation and a previously documented unauthorized sign installation. The building's fire safety systems have required attention, with alarm system issues noted in 2008, 2009, 2016, and 2021 - though all were marked as corrected. More recent maintenance issues are primarily external, with multiple graffiti incidents reported between 2024 and 2023 affecting various building features and nearby infrastructure. The property has maintained regular status updates through various permits, most recently in 2019 for street space matters, and has shown ongoing attention to infrastructure maintenance through multiple renovation projects, including a significant $24,000 kitchen remodel and door refacing project in 2012.

Risk rating

How 1535-1541 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.
