***Note: these data are currently not updated as there is currently not an automated, consistent approach to adhering to the standard. Instead we will be publishing the 3 independent agencies' data to the portal. They are not complete yet, but we'll link to them here:

Fire Department: https://data.sfgov.org/d/wb4c-6hwj & https://data.sfgov.org/d/4zuq-2cbe
Department of Building Inspection: https://data.sfgov.org/d/nbtm-fbw5 & https://data.sfgov.org/d/gm2e-bten
Department of Public Health: Not Published Yet

This dataset will remain as a historic reference until all 3 agencies are independently published and automated.

The location of buildings, inspections and violations that were issued by the San Francisco Department of Building Inspection (DBI), San Francisco Department of Health (SFDPH), and The San Francisco Fire Department (SFFD) for 1/2008 - 8/2013 for residential buildings in San Francisco. This dataset adheres to the House Facts Data Standard version 1.2 - which is a government open data standard that provides a uniform format for reporting governmental data on the regulation of health and safety laws for residential housing in a machine readable format. The specification links data to the residential building understanding that a single building may have multiple dwelling units and multiple owners. For more information about the standard, please see https://github.com/codeforamerica/housefacts_spec

This data set pertains to contacts associated with building permits. Data includes application/permit numbers, contact name, address, and license numbers. Data is uploaded weekly by DBI. This data set is intended to be joined to the Building Permits data set. Users can access permit information online through DBI’s Permit Tracking System which is 24/7 at www.sfdbi.org/dbipts.

These are complaints from Housing, Building, Electrical, Plumbing, and Code Enforcement divisions within the Department of Building Inspection. Routine and non-routine inspections from the housing division are tracked using complaints only if violations are found during the inspections. The NOVTYPE field can be used to determine the source of the complaint.

This data supplements the Housing Inventory report - an annual report describing San Francisco’s housing supply. Housing Inventory data accounts for new housing construction, demolitions, and alterations in a consistent format for analysis of housing production trends. Net housing unit gains are reported citywide, by zoning classification, and by planning district. Other areas covered in the report include affordable housing production, condominium conversions, and changes to the residential hotel stock. Reports are available for the public at the Planning Department and on the website.
