Initial analysis

The property at 1515-1519 Haight Street is a two-story, multi-family residential building with commercial space, constructed in 1908 and containing two units. The building has undergone several significant renovations over the past few decades, with the most substantial work occurring in 2015, which included bathroom renovations, kitchen updates, electrical work, and HVAC improvements including new furnaces. In recent months, there have been multiple graffiti incidents reported on the property, with three separate occurrences between October 2024 and January 2025, though these were not considered offensive and were handled through the city's graffiti abatement program.

The building's commercial space has faced some challenges, with a vacant storefront complaint filed in January 2023, and a complaint regarding an unauthorized awning installation that was subsequently addressed through the Awning Amnesty Program. The property has a documented history of maintenance and improvements, including roofing work in 1997 and 2001, and structural repairs in 1983. Recent infrastructure assessments in late 2015 revealed discrepancies in electrical service distribution between the residential and commercial portions of the building. The property has experienced some issues with encampments in the vicinity, particularly in late 2024, though these were resolved through city intervention.

Risk rating

How 1515-1519 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.
