Initial analysis

The 8-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 410-418 Fair Oaks Street in Noe Valley, owned by Fair Oaks LP, was built in 1908 and has undergone several significant renovations and faced multiple regulatory challenges over the past decade. Most recently, in November 2023, the building completed a $50,000 facade repair project that included window replacements and siding restoration to original wood materials. Between 2019 and 2021, various units underwent comprehensive renovations including kitchen and bathroom remodels, electrical system upgrades, and plumbing improvements, with particular attention to units 410, 412, and 416/416A. A critical safety improvement was made in 2013 with the installation of 21 sprinkler heads in the basement.

Recent complaints from early 2024 indicate ongoing concerns about construction practices and resident safety, including inadequate dust containment during work in unit 410A and potential unauthorized commercial use of basement space for a nail salon. The building has a history of water heater issues, particularly in 2016 when multiple complaints were filed regarding a faulty water heater. While many building violations from 2011-2016 were addressed, there remains an active investigation into unauthorized commercial use of the property as of early 2024. The building's maintenance record shows regular updates to basic systems including multiple water heater installations, electrical rewiring projects, and plumbing upgrades, suggesting ongoing efforts to maintain and improve the building infrastructure.

Risk rating

How 410-418 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.
