Initial analysis

The property at 412-414 Fell Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in Hayes Valley, built in 1979 and currently owned by the Kenery Family 1994 Trust. The building's maintenance record shows several notable improvements, including a completed window replacement project in 2008 that involved installing 12 new vinyl double-hung windows on street-facing elevations, upgrading from aluminum sliders and improving energy efficiency with a U-value of 0.33. However, there is an unresolved housing code issue dating back to December 1998 regarding a possible illegal unit located at the rear of the garage, which remains active as per current housing inspection records.

The property has experienced various street-level incidents and maintenance issues in the surrounding area, as documented through 311 calls. These include general cleaning needs (most recently in April 2024), reports of illegal postings on historic street lights (2022), hazardous materials (glass) on the street (2020), and removal of needles from a nearby park (2017). There were also multiple reports of abandoned vehicles in the vicinity between 2011-2013, though all were resolved when the vehicles were found to be gone upon inspection. The building underwent a ground floor alteration in 1999 to create additional living space, though this permit was cancelled, and there is a record from 2008 showing three building permits issued for window replacements, with one showing a cost of $9,000. Additionally, planning records indicate a related project at 0 Octavia Street (though not directly at this property) involving three duplexes and CEQA clearance.

Risk rating

How 412-414 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.
