Initial analysis

The property at 667-669 Spruce Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in the Jordan Park/Laurel Heights neighborhood, built in 1923 and currently owned by the Chiu 1999 Revocable Intervi Trust. The building has undergone several significant renovations and improvements over the past decade, with the most recent major work completed in 2023 including a two-story horizontal addition (approximately 701 sq. ft) and comprehensive updates to plumbing and electrical systems. This addition involved the installation of multiple bathroom fixtures, appliances, and modern safety features such as smoke detectors, as well as the revision of deck railings from glass to cable design. Earlier improvements include a kitchen remodel on the second floor in 2022 ($15,000), multiple bathroom renovations (2017, 2013), and various window replacements.

The building's history includes two complaints regarding possible illegal units in 1994-1995, though these were eventually resolved. A tenant buyout occurred in May 2017 for $20,000 involving one tenant. While there have been several 311 calls regarding the property (primarily related to street cleaning and waste management issues), these were mostly external to the building itself and have all been resolved. The property has consistently received proper permitting for major work, with no active violations or open complaints on record. Recent improvements suggest ongoing maintenance and modernization of the building's systems and living spaces, though the presence of three "cans left out" violations in 2009-2011 indicates historical issues with waste management practices, which appear to have been resolved.

Risk rating

How 667-669 Spruce 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.
