Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1106-1108 Fell Street in Alamo Square, constructed in 1900 and currently owned by the Gary Lee Mootz Living Trust, has undergone several significant improvements and faced noteworthy challenges in its history. The property experienced substantial fire damage in 2007 that affected floor joists on the first floor and the east wall of the second, third, and fourth floors, though this issue was officially abated by May 2012. A comprehensive renovation period followed, particularly in 2009-2011, during which the building received extensive updates including full rewiring of both floors with new electrical systems, complete plumbing renovations including new water and gas lines for both units, and replacement of four furnaces and flues. A significant entrance stair replacement project was completed in 2017, replacing wooden components with steel stringers and terrazzo treads at a cost of $25,000.

Recent history shows the building has had recurring issues with garbage and debris on the property and adjacent sidewalks, with multiple 311 calls in 2024 regarding these matters. There have also been several parking-related complaints near the property between 2024 and 2023, though most were either unable to be validated or resolved quickly. While the building itself appears to be maintained according to safety standards following the extensive renovations, the surrounding area has faced ongoing challenges with waste management and parking enforcement, as evidenced by recent service calls. The most recent work on record was a street space permit issued in 2018, suggesting no major structural modifications have been made in the past five years.

Risk rating

How 1106-1108 Fell 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
83th percentile

Out of 305 buildings in this neighborhood, 52 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 age

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

Building permits, owner's portfolio

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

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 72.3%
Moderate concern 14.7%
Severe concern 13.0%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
