Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 765-767 Spruce Street in the Lone Mountain neighborhood, owned by Lee Wei Fan May, is a 1909 two-story flats and duplex structure. The property has undergone several significant renovations and improvements over the years, with the most recent major work being a bathroom remodel in Unit 767 in 2021-2022 that included new plumbing fixtures. In 2006, substantial structural work was completed, including foundation and beam replacement, along with the installation of new plumbing and electrical systems for ground floor modifications that added storage, bathroom, and washroom facilities. The building has received proper attention to its infrastructure, including a complete reroofing in 2006 and an electrical service upgrade with new copper feeders and mains in 2005.

The building experienced some safety and maintenance challenges, including a foundation-related complaint in 1994 that was addressed, and two fire system-related issues (sprinkler/standpipe and alarm systems) in 2015 that were corrected. There have been multiple fire alarm activations recorded, though most were false alarms or system malfunctions, with no civilian injuries reported. The property has had several parking enforcement issues in recent years, particularly in 2021-2022, with multiple citations issued for sidewalk parking violations. The most recent building permit activity was a bathroom remodel in 2021, indicating ongoing maintenance of the property. While there have been various 311 calls for services around the property, including recent public works requests in 2023, these do not appear to be directly related to building safety or habitability concerns.

Risk rating

How 765-767 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.

Neighborhood percentile
42th percentile

Out of 519 buildings in this neighborhood, 301 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.

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

Building age

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

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 83.6%
Moderate concern 13.0%
Severe concern 3.4%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
