Initial analysis

The property at 650 Arguello Blvd is a 2-story, 4-unit multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Lone Mountain neighborhood, constructed in 1926 and currently owned by the Peter & Doris Foo Revocable Trust. The building's maintenance history reveals various safety and compliance issues, with the most significant cluster of violations occurring in March 2009, when multiple citations were issued for broken windows, security door problems, and hazardous garage storage, though all these violations were abated by April 2009. More recently, in 2013, there was a serious lead paint complaint that reportedly affected neighboring properties with children, followed by a routine safety inspection in 2016. The building's permit history shows limited activity, with a reroofing project in 1993 (which has since expired) and a street space permit issued in 2013.

The property has experienced some recent external challenges as of late 2024, primarily related to environmental and maintenance issues in the surrounding area rather than the building itself. There have been multiple reports regarding rat activity and vegetation management in the nearby park area, with records showing ongoing pest management efforts and discussions about replacing trash receptacles to mitigate wildlife attraction. Other recent issues include a sidewalk defect report from November 2024 and various park patrol calls regarding park rules violations. The building's fire safety record shows two minor incidents, one for an unintentional alarm system activation and another for assisting an invalid, with no civilian injuries reported in either event. The property's documented history suggests that while past maintenance issues have been addressed, ongoing challenges primarily relate to external environmental factors rather than building-specific problems.

Risk rating

How 650 Arguello Blvd'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
33th percentile

Out of 519 buildings in this neighborhood, 348 are predicted to be safer.
