Initial analysis

The 13-unit, 4-story multi-family residential building at 667-669 Ofarrell Street in the Tenderloin, owned by Ofarrell Properties LLC, was constructed in 1922 and has a notable history of both improvements and concerns. The building is currently undergoing renovations, including the conversion of a ground-floor commercial space into a limited-use cafe, with associated electrical and plumbing work permitted in 2023-2024. The property has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the years, most recently including unpermitted remodeling complaints in 2021, intercom system failures in 2020, and overcrowding concerns in 2018. A series of building violations were documented in early 2015, addressing various maintenance issues that were subsequently abated, including problems with smoke detectors, fire extinguishers, and sanitation concerns in common areas.

The building has maintained fire safety systems through regular inspections and corrections, with documented fire complaints regarding alarm systems and extinguishers in 2018, 2021, and 2022, all of which were resolved. Historical records show fire damage incidents in 1994 and 2002 that required repairs, as well as multiple change-of-use modifications to the ground-floor commercial space. The property has experienced recurring issues with debris and garbage management as evidenced by numerous 311 calls between December 2024 and January 2025. Recent improvements include plans for a solar domestic hot water system (approved in 1984) and accessibility upgrades completed in 2007. The building's recent history shows active management in addressing maintenance issues, though concerns about unpermitted work and system failures suggest ongoing attention to property maintenance requirements.

Risk rating

How 667-669 Ofarrell 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.

Neighborhood percentile
