Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 175 Fair Oaks Street in Noe Valley, owned by Beverly A. Wagstaff, is a two-story structure built in 1900. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the years, with a particular focus on stair safety. Between 2002 and 2004, the building faced multiple housing code violations related to stair repairs that required building permits, leading to three separate repair projects: a $2,000 repair in 2003, a $5,000 in-kind repair in 2004, and earlier repairs in 1988-89. The building's electrical system received a substantial upgrade in 2005, with the installation of a 200-amp service with four meters and multiple circuits serving all units. More recent improvements include the installation of gas fireplaces in 2019 and 2022.

The property has experienced two fire-related incidents: one involving electrical equipment and another related to a CO detector malfunction, though neither resulted in civilian injuries. The building underwent a routine housing inspection in 2002 that revealed stair safety concerns, which were ultimately resolved by December 2004. While there have been several 311 calls related to the building's surroundings, including reports of waste and graffiti between 2010 and 2024, these issues were mostly related to street conditions rather than the building itself. The property appears to be currently in compliance with housing regulations, with no active violations on record.

Risk rating

How 175 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.
