Initial analysis

The property at 758-760 Spruce Street is a 4-story multi-family residential building located in Lone Mountain, consisting of two units and built in 2014. The structure underwent significant transformation from a single-family home to a two-unit building between 2012-2014, with substantial construction work valued at approximately $565,000 in 2012 followed by various improvements including a comprehensive fire safety system. The building's fire safety features were meticulously installed, including a complete sprinkler system with 71 heads in 2013 ($40,000), a monitoring system in 2014 ($2,500), and associated electrical components, demonstrating a strong commitment to resident safety. Significant plumbing work was completed throughout the entire building, including the installation of two furnaces, kitchens, bathrooms, and comprehensive drainage systems.

Prior to the conversion, the property experienced serious maintenance issues in 2004-2005 when it was still a single-family residence, with documented problems including dry rot and window damage that led to code enforcement actions and abatement proceedings. However, these issues were officially abated by May 31, 2012, coinciding with the start of the conversion project, and there have been no recorded violations or significant complaints since. The only recent maintenance note was regarding a sidewalk defect reported in 2015, which was investigated and found to be not present at the time of inspection. All major building systems have been systematically upgraded and tested through the proper permitting process, including comprehensive electrical and plumbing inspections, with all major permits marked as complete. The building's transformation has been thoroughly documented through multiple permits and inspections, showing a clear progression from the former single-family residence to its current multi-unit configuration with modern safety systems and amenities.

Risk rating

How 758-760 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.
