Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 406-408 Fell Street in Hayes Valley, owned by Rodrigo R & Gloria D Villac, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1979. The building's maintenance history shows several significant improvements, including a complete window replacement project in 2008 costing $8,800, where 12 vinyl windows (six in each unit) were installed, and a bathroom and lunch room addition to the basement area completed in 1985. The building's roofing work permit from 2002 appears to have expired without record of completion. A notable complaint was filed in August 2016 regarding unpermitted construction work, though this case is currently listed as not active.

The property has experienced recurring issues with driveway access, particularly in 2023, with multiple calls to parking enforcement regarding vehicles blocking the driveway. Between February and April 2023 alone, there were at least six documented incidents resulting in citations, though some cases resulted in officers being unable to locate the offending vehicles. More recent complaints include two parking enforcement requests in November 2024 and January 2024, with one resulting in a citation. Additionally, there was a graffiti incident reported in June 2023, though this case experienced technical difficulties in processing. A faded sign requiring repair was addressed and completed in May 2022. The pattern of parking violations suggests ongoing challenges with driveway access for the property, which appears to be the most significant ongoing issue affecting the building.

Risk rating

How 406-408 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.
