Initial analysis

The three-story, six-unit multi-family residential building at 1011-1017 Fell St in Hayes Valley, owned by Mufarreh Basil & Susanne Fm, has undergone significant seismic and safety improvements since 2016. The most recent construction activity includes the recommencement & completion of approved work as of December 2024, and repairs to structural framing including floor strengthening and foundation support issued in November 2024. The building, constructed in 1903, has seen substantial modernization efforts including the installation of a new fire sprinkler system in 2021 and 2023, the addition of basement-level living space, and updates to address soft-story seismic requirements via multiple permits between 2016 and 2019.

Historical records show the building faced several maintenance issues in 2008, including problems with smoke detectors, window hardware, garage ventilation, and heating systems, all of which were resolved by April 2008. More recent tenant complaints in 2023 concerned construction permits and cement truck parking, though these were marked as not active after inspection. The property has maintained regular housing inspections over the years, most recently in 2017, and while there have been two fire-related incidents recorded (a CO detector activation and a smoke scare), neither resulted in civilian injuries. Recent 311 calls primarily relate to street cleaning and parking issues, with one 2023 report mentioning a collapsed sidewalk that was subsequently resolved. Current work includes plumbing updates for new ADU units as of December 2024, indicating ongoing efforts to improve and expand the building's facilities.

Risk rating

How 1011-1017 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.
