Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 43-45 Delmar Street in the Haight Ashbury neighborhood is a two-story structure built in 1965, currently owned by the Survivors Trust & J Caldwell. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past two decades, with the most recent major work being a roofing project completed in 2013 costing approximately $12,000. In 2010, the building underwent important structural improvements including voluntary garage strengthening (costing $7,000), electrical upgrades (adding three outlets, upgrading two GFI outlets, and installing new circuits), and kitchen renovations focused on countertop replacement. Earlier improvements from 2006 included the installation of vinyl siding on non-visible areas of the building.

The property has experienced several maintenance and safety-related incidents in recent years, with the most recent being a glass hazard reported in October 2023 that was resolved by the Department of Public Works. Other noteworthy incidents include a noise complaint related to garbage collection in February 2024, and parking enforcement issues including a sidewalk parking violation in May 2023 and an abandoned vehicle report in September 2024. The building's history shows regular maintenance and upgrading of systems, particularly during the 2006-2013 period, though more recent years have seen primarily regulatory and response type incidents rather than structural or system improvements. The property's maintenance record indicates attention to both structural and aesthetic improvements, though it's worth noting the lack of major building improvements in the past decade compared to the earlier period.

Risk rating

How 43-45 Delmar 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.
