Initial analysis

The property at 665-667 Fell Street is a two-story, multi-family residential building constructed in 1900 in Hayes Valley, containing four units and currently owned by the Whelan Family Trust 2009. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and repair projects over the years, with the most recent major work being the installation of a laundry washer outlet in 2022 and the replacement of galvanized water lines in 2011. Major improvements in 2008-2010 included a complete roof replacement (cost: $10,400), exterior stairway replacement, and repairs to address wood damage on siding, which was initiated in response to a 2008 housing inspection violation for dry rot issues. The building experienced multiple violations in 2008 related to safety and maintenance issues, including requirements for self-closing doors, fire extinguishers, broken windows, and lead paint concerns, though all these violations were marked as abated by June 2009.

A concerning trend has emerged in recent years, with a complaint about extremely loud construction noise filed in December 2018 that remains active as of the report date (October 2023). Historical records from 1996-1998 reveal significant maintenance challenges, including reports of electrical hazards, water leaks, and ceiling collapse, though these issues were addressed and resolved. The building's more recent history shows regular maintenance and upgrades, including plumbing and electrical work, though there has been a recurring need for sidewalk cleaning and graffiti removal as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in recent years. The most recent graffiti incident was documented in May 2023, and while the building has faced various maintenance issues over the years, there are no current active housing violations or major structural concerns on record.

Risk rating

How 665-667 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

Out of 1027 buildings in this neighborhood, 472 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 37.6%
Moderate concern 15.9%
Severe concern 46.4%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
