Initial analysis

The Hague Family Trust owns this 2-story, 3-unit multi-family residential building located at 7-11 Downey Street in Haight Ashbury, built in 1903. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the past two decades, with the most recent work in 2021 involving replacement of a rear yard fence and retaining wall. The building has had three routine housing inspections (2003, 2006, 2009) and a 2017 inspection, all of which were resolved. Notable past violations were documented in 2006 (including fire proofing repairs and deck repairs) and 2009 (including multiple safety requirements), all of which were abated by July 2006. Recent improvements include window replacement in 2006, roof work in 2002, foundation repairs in 2002, and water heater replacements in 2018. The building had some electrical safety issues in 2009-2010, which were properly addressed.

Recent activity at the property has been minimal, with only one recent housing inspection issue noted in 2023 regarding garbage receptacles. The building's history shows regular maintenance and prompt response to housing codes, particularly in addressing safety concerns. There was a notable historical issue in 1996 regarding rear stairs and second floor exit requirements, which was resolved by 2001. The property has undergone proper permitting processes for most major work, though there was a period of unpermitted deck construction that required subsequent approval and appeal resolution in planning records. Recent 311 calls primarily relate to external issues such as street cleaning and parking violations, rather than building-specific concerns.

Risk rating

How 7-11 Downey 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
62th percentile

Out of 581 buildings in this neighborhood, 221 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 age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

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.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 62.5%
Moderate concern 23.5%
Severe concern 14.0%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
