Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 715-717 De Haro Street in Potrero Hill, owned by Karmel Caleb & Bela, has undergone significant renovations and improvements since its construction in 1965. Most notably, in 2023-2024, substantial work was completed to prepare for condo conversion (CC #8588), including bathroom reconfigurations, window replacements, and deck extensions. Recent improvements include a complete re-roofing in December 2024, ductwork replacement in the garage (August 2024), and HVAC system upgrades with the relocation of the furnace and water heater to the garage (April-March 2024).

The property has a history of both interior and exterior improvements, with past renovations including a bathroom remodel in 2021, significant interior work on the top floor in 2009, and bathroom conversions in 2023. Utilities were upgraded in 2023 with the installation of a 30-amp electrical car garage system. The building has experienced several infrastructure issues typical of the area, including multiple sidewalk defect reports between 2018-2022, though these have been resolved. A notable enforcement matter occurred in 2020 regarding illegal short-term rentals, which was abated following intervention. The property has maintained compliance through various city inspections and permits, with recent work focusing on meeting condo conversion requirements and upgrading building systems for improved functionality and safety.

Risk rating

How 715-717 De Haro 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
99th percentile

Out of 726 buildings in this neighborhood, 7 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.

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.

Property class: multi-family flat

2–4 unit flats (class F) are a common SF building type with their own maintenance and complaint patterns.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 89.6%
Moderate concern 8.9%
Severe concern 1.5%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
