Initial analysis

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 746 Spruce St in the Lone Mountain neighborhood was constructed in 1987, replacing a single-family dwelling, and was completed with fire safety measures including the installation of 32 fire sprinkler heads. The three-story structure, which is classified as flats & duplex, has undergone several significant maintenance and safety improvements over the years. These include a reroofing project in 2010 costing $6,000 and a serious incident in 1996 involving fire damage that required sheetrock replacement in the kitchen. The building has been subject to regular housing inspection services, with routine inspections recorded in 2000, 2007, and 2011, though none of these inspections revealed any ongoing or active concerns.

In terms of recent issues affecting the property and its surroundings, there have been multiple parking-related complaints in the vicinity between 2019 and 2023, including vehicles blocking driveways and parking on sidewalks, though enforcement officers were often unable to locate the offending vehicles. Noise complaints have been recorded in 2016 and 2020 regarding excessive noise and amplified sound electronics, both of which were accepted as informational reports. The building has also experienced minor management issues such as garbage receptacles being left out continuously (January 2019) and a general service request to Public Works (June 2019). A routine inspection from 2000 noted no significant findings that would impact current resident conditions. The property's documented history shows regular maintenance attention and compliance with standard inspection protocols, with no recorded safety hazards or persistent structural issues in recent years.

Risk rating

How 746 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
68th percentile

Out of 519 buildings in this neighborhood, 166 are predicted to be safer.
