Initial analysis

The 4-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 990-998 De Haro Street in Potrero Hill, owned by Mcauley/cotter Trust, was constructed in 1924 and has undergone several significant improvements over the years. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2014 at a cost of $33,800, bringing it into compliance with San Francisco building safety requirements. In 2018, the electrical system received an upgrade with the installation of a new 100-amp meter and house panel with four circuits. The building's unit count has been clarified through several verification processes in 2008, transitioning from an unknown number to officially recognizing 5 units on record.

The property has undergone routine safety inspections by Housing Inspection Services in 2004 and 2015, though these cases were marked as not active. A 2008 housing complaint led to the replacement of a skylight and repairs to the rear deck, demonstrating responsiveness to maintenance issues. While there was one reported building fire incident recorded as "111 Building fire" with no civilian injuries, this appears to be an administrative record rather than a significant safety event. The building has experienced various neighborhood maintenance issues typical of urban settings, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls between 2009 and 2024, primarily related to street cleaning and abandoned vehicles, though these do not directly reflect on the building's condition or safety. A weed and grass complaint was filed in 2005 and closed in 2006 with no merit found.

Risk rating

How 990-998 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.
