Initial analysis

The three-story, six-unit multi-family residential building at 802-804 Fell Street in Alamo Square, owned by John P Sucich & William E V, was constructed in 1910 and has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past 15 years. Most notably, in January 2012, the building was classified as a "nuisance" property by the San Francisco Housing Code due to multiple violations including problems with hot water temperature, window weatherproofing, stair repairs, smoke detector functionality, and various electrical issues. A serious incident occurred in July 2010 when a water leak caused ceiling collapse and damage, raising concerns about potential mold. The building has had recurring issues with window maintenance, with multiple complaints between 2012-2014 regarding broken windows and drafts, particularly affecting security on ground-level units. More recent history shows some improvements, with the last major building permit from 2008 addressing safety concerns by adding handrails to light well stairways, though the exact resolution of prior violations is not specified in the records.

The property has undergone regular routine safety inspections by Housing Inspection Services in 2000, 2008, 2011, and 2017, indicating ongoing monitoring by authorities. More recent incidents regarding the property's immediate vicinity have primarily involved external issues such as tree maintenance, garbage, and graffiti removal, with multiple cases resolved between 2023-2025. Two carbon monoxide detector activations were recorded (dates not specified), though neither resulted in civilian injuries. The building's maintenance history suggests periodic responsiveness to safety concerns, though there have been notable lapses in prompt repairs, particularly during the 2012 violation period. While many older violations are listed as "Not Active," the records do not clearly indicate whether all historical issues have been fully resolved or if any current violations remain outstanding.

Risk rating

How 802-804 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.

Neighborhood percentile
