Initial analysis

954 De Haro Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1926, currently owned by Kristina G Vernale. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past decade, with the most recent concerns centering around structural issues. In 2022, multiple complaints were filed regarding a deteriorating and collapsing backyard fence that posed safety risks, though these were eventually resolved by June 2022. More recent maintenance work includes a sewage backup incident in August 2024, which was promptly addressed and resolved. The building underwent several major repairs between 2017 and 2019, including asbestos removal and restoration of wood sidings, reroofing, and rear stairway repairs following a November 2017 violation for unsafe stairs.

The property has a documented history of water-related issues, with complaints in 2017 and 2019 regarding leaks, water damage, and subsequent mold concerns. Multiple housing code violations were recorded in late 2017 related to building safety, including problems with stairs and the need for smoke alarm self-certification, all of which were abated by May 2018. The building's maintenance history also includes work performed by unauthorized contractors in 2019 that prompted resident complaints, though this work was for asbestos removal. Periodic issues with garbage receptacle management were noted in 2008-2009, but these are relatively minor compared to the building's other maintenance challenges.

Risk rating

How 954 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.
