Initial analysis

The property at 383-385 Fair Oaks Street is a three-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, containing two units and currently owned by Shannon Dodge and Mark Mccaustl. The building has undergone significant renovations and faced several compliance issues throughout its history, most notably between 2009 and 2014. In 2012-2014, major work was completed to remodel both units, including kitchen and bathroom renovations, adding a second residential unit at the garden level, and constructing new decks and stairs. This period also included electrical upgrades, plumbing improvements, and the installation of radiant heating. The building experienced several violations and complaints between 2009-2011, primarily related to unpermitted construction work, including a deck installation and basement remodel, along with electrical work conducted without proper permits. These issues were ultimately resolved, with the last violation being abated in 2018.

Recent maintenance work includes a complete re-roofing project in 2024 costing approximately $24,190. The building has had some infrastructure challenges, with recorded sewer issues in 2010, 2012, and 2015 showing recurring plumbing problems that required attention. The property has also faced some neighborhood-related issues noted through 311 calls, including parking violations and noise complaints, though these are more related to street management rather than building-specific concerns. Recent records show no active building violations or major compliance issues, suggesting that the property has been maintaining required standards in recent years. The most significant recent building improvement was the 2024 roofing work, representing ongoing maintenance of the property's infrastructure.

Risk rating

How 383-385 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.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Severe concern 7.6%
