Initial analysis

The two-story mixed-use building at 330 Fell Street in Hayes Valley, owned by Mauk Mitchell P, was constructed in 1926 and contains two residential units plus retail space. The property's maintenance record shows several significant improvements over the years, with the most recent major work being a reroofing project completed in 2018 at a cost of $9,500. In 2007-2008, the building underwent substantial ground-floor remodeling and HVAC system installation, including electrical upgrades with 12 outlets and lighting improvements. Historical records indicate earlier modifications such as a 1984 mezzanine wall construction, 1989 kitchen installation, and various facade and door improvements.

The building has experienced two notable complaints: a 2022 plumbing-related excavation complaint and a 2007 construction-related noise complaint, though both complaints are no longer active. Recent activity from late 2024 shows multiple reports of defaced parking signs in the vicinity, while earlier in September 2024, there were incidents of graffiti on nearby public surfaces that have since been resolved. The property's historical records show various permit applications, including a cancelled 2005 plumbing/electrical project related to a proposed restaurant/bar change, and a completed parapet safety program in 1990. There have been no recorded fire incidents at the property, and any recent service requests have primarily involved street and sidewalk maintenance rather than building-specific issues.

Risk rating

How 330 Fell 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.
