Initial analysis

The property at 1348 Hawes Street is a one-story, two-unit multi-family residential building located in the Bayview neighborhood, owned by He Quan & Zhong Yan and constructed in 1925. The building has undergone several significant modifications, most notably a horizontal two-story addition completed in 2004 that converted it from a single-family to a two-unit dwelling, followed by various renovations including bathroom updates and dry rot repairs in 2015. A notable concern emerged in 2017 when complaints were filed regarding an allegedly unpermitted dwelling unit, which resulted in active violations that remain unresolved. More recently, the building has faced recurring maintenance issues, particularly with its exterior, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in late 2024 and 2023 regarding peeling paint. Other maintenance concerns include a sewage backup incident in 2018 and lighting issues in 2021.

The property has received several recent inspections and service calls, including a rodent/insect infestation complaint in January 2025 and numerous garbage and debris reports in late 2024. Building systems improvements have been documented, including electrical work completed in 2005 that installed multiple fixtures and circuits throughout the building. While there have been several fire-related service calls, including lockdowns, system malfunction, and false alarms, none resulted in civilian injuries. The building's maintenance and compliance history suggests ongoing challenges with upkeep and regulatory compliance, particularly regarding the status of the allegedly unpermitted dwelling unit.

Risk rating

How 1348 Hawes 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.
