Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 73-75 Fair Oaks Street, located in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1906, currently owned by Joshua Peter Sandberg & Ou. The property has undergone significant renovations and improvements over the past several years, with the most recent being the installation of an electric vehicle charger in May 2023. Substantial work was performed in 2019, including the replacement of windows and sliding doors ($30,000), removal and replacement of rear deck and stairs ($35,000), and installation of high-efficiency furnaces and related plumbing work totaling over $100,000. The property experienced several construction-related issues during 2019, including complaints about construction vehicles blocking access in April 2019, though these issues appear to have been resolved.

The building has a history of compliance and enforcement actions, with notable events including a violation in 2003 regarding unauthorized rear stairs replacement (which was ultimately abated in 2017) and an active complaint from 1999 concerning an unpermitted basement unit that was reported as removed through proper channels in that same year. Recent maintenance and improvements suggest active management of the property, with multiple permits for modern systems installations including heating, plumbing, and electrical upgrades. The property underwent significant exterior and interior improvements, including window replacements, deck renovations, and various system upgrades, indicating regular maintenance and modernization of the building's infrastructure. While there were some concerns during the 2019 renovation period regarding construction impacts on the neighborhood, there have been no reported violations or complaints related to the building's current condition or operations in recent years.

Risk rating

How 73-75 Fair Oaks 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.
