Initial analysis

The 4-unit, 2-story apartment building at 1415 Waller Street in the Haight Ashbury neighborhood, owned by Kawaguchi Jeffrey R & Mari, was constructed in 1955 and has undergone significant recent renovations. Most notably, in 2024, Unit #4 received substantial updates including new cabinets, countertops, tiles, and bathroom fixtures at a cost of $50,000, along with associated electrical and plumbing work. The building has seen consistent improvements since 2022, with multiple unit renovations including kitchen and bathroom remodels, electrical system upgrades to replace illegal panels, and a comprehensive system update of electrical components including new circuits, LED lighting, and GFI plugs. A heating-related issue in 2022 resulted in a complaint about lack of heat in Unit 3, but this was resolved through subsequent furnace replacements in August 2024.

The property has a history of maintenance and safety improvements. In 2000, multiple violations were documented and resolved, including issues with window glazing, light switches, and smoke detectors. A series of electrical upgrades in 2020 addressed panel relocations and circuit improvements across all units. The building's infrastructure has been maintained, with records showing two reroofing projects in 2004 and 2005 (though one was cancelled), and a water heater installation in 2018. Recent 311 calls primarily relate to exterior maintenance matters such as street cleaning and parking enforcement, with only one interior-related issue noted in 2022 regarding waste. The property's only recorded fire incident was a minor cooking fire in 2023, resulting in no civilian injuries.

Risk rating

How 1415 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
73th percentile

Out of 581 buildings in this neighborhood, 157 are predicted to be safer.
