Initial analysis

This two-story, two-unit residential building located at 322-324 Fair Oaks Street in Noe Valley, owned by Joshua Pollak, dates back to 1905 and has undergone several significant renovations over the past decade. Most notably, the property has been involved in an ongoing dispute regarding an unauthorized dwelling unit (UDU) on the ground floor/storage level, which was the subject of a 2019 complaint and subsequent violations. To address this issue, the building is currently undergoing modifications as evidenced by a May 2024 permit to remove the unauthorized unit and convert the space back to storage use, with an estimated cost of $2,000. The property has seen substantial improvements over the years, including a solar power system installation in 2018, complete kitchen and bathroom renovations in 2015, and multiple electrical and plumbing upgrades.

The building's recent history shows a mix of completed improvements and compliance actions, including a completed basement rewiring in October 2024, and extensive renovations in 2014-2015 that included bathroom remodels, kitchen upgrades, and electrical system improvements. The property has maintained regular maintenance standards, including a complete reroofing in 2017, though there have been recurring issues with parking and tree maintenance in the vicinity, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls between 2021 and 2025. Planning records indicate various proposed projects, including a withdrawn permit for a new garage structure and a previously proposed retaining wall replacement. The property has demonstrated compliance with multiple Conditional Use Authorizations, specifically regarding the removal of the unauthorized dwelling unit, which is currently in progress.

Risk rating

How 322-324 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.
