Initial analysis

1405 Waller St is a 2-story, 4-unit multi-family residential building located in the Haight-Ashbury neighborhood, constructed in 1955 and currently owned by Exemption Equivalent Trust. The building experienced a significant cluster of fire safety violations in July 2003, including issues with fire proofing materials, unauthorized garage storage, and the need for a gas utility shutoff tool - all of which were promptly addressed and abated by August 12, 2003. The property underwent routine housing inspections in 2003 and 2008, with a heater malfunction complaint filed and resolved between December 2006 and January 2007.

Recent external issues documented through 311 calls from 2020 to 2024 primarily relate to street-level maintenance and public space concerns rather than building-specific problems. These include multiple reports of defaced parking signs, graffiti, waste on streets, and two instances of driveway blocking that were resolved through enforcement action. The most recent building-related incident was a reported heater malfunction in late 2006/early 2007, with no subsequent major building-specific complaints or violations on record.

Risk rating

How 1405 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
60th percentile

Out of 581 buildings in this neighborhood, 232 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 55.6%
Moderate concern 20.3%
Severe concern 24.2%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
