Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 375-377 Hearst Avenue in San Francisco's Sunnyside neighborhood is a 2-story, 1907 structure owned by Lei Fillian F H. The property has experienced significant construction activity and related controversies over recent years. The most pressing concerns include an active building violation from 2019 regarding unauthorized removal of approximately 20% of the rear structure, including stairs and deck, which exceeded approved drawings. This led to a series of permit revisions between 2018-2024, most recently in May 2024, to reconfigure interior layouts and address previously identified violations.

The building underwent substantial renovations between 2018 and 2024, including a major rebuilding of both units' interiors, new radiant heating systems, and roofing work completed in late 2023. However, there have been multiple complaint filings throughout 2022-2024 regarding construction activities, including allegations of work beyond permitted scope, improper hours of operation, sidewalk obstruction, and safety concerns during construction. Recent plumbing work completed in late 2023 included extensive bathroom and kitchen renovations in both units, along with laundry facilities and a wet bar installation. The property has also experienced some maintenance issues, including sewer repairs in 2014 and gas line extensions in 2013, though these were completed successfully.

Risk rating

How 375-377 Hearst Ave'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

Out of 129 buildings in this neighborhood, 104 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.

DBI tenant complaints (past 7 years)

Formal complaints tenants filed with DBI about this building over 7 years.

Neighborhood location

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

Building age

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 50.0%
Moderate concern 34.3%
Severe concern 15.7%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
