Initial analysis

The Solloway Family Trust owns this two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located at 1160 Fell Street in the Alamo Square neighborhood. Built in 1906, this flats/duplex structure has undergone several maintenance and improvement projects over the years, with the most significant being a $16,000 dry rot repair in the back rear yard completed in 2020 (permit #202008051151). Other recorded improvements include a sidewalk permit issued in 2008 and the installation of a 40-gallon water heater at the property address in 2014 (permit #PW20140701352), though this plumbing permit has since expired.

The property has experienced various maintenance and service issues in recent years, with three open 311 calls in 2024 related to a pavement defect, graffiti, and abandoned furniture. While the furniture issue has been resolved, the pavement defect and graffiti cases remain open as of October 2023. Historical service requests include a parking enforcement matter in 2019 where a black Subaru wagon was cited for parking on the sidewalk, and an August 2020 public works request that was resolved with findings related to a missing service. The most recent building-related issues primarily concern exterior conditions rather than structural or internal systems, though the waterfront's historical grading and sidewalk permits suggest attention to both public and private infrastructure maintenance.

Risk rating

How 1160 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
91th percentile

Out of 305 buildings in this neighborhood, 27 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.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Building permits, owner's portfolio

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 63.5%
Moderate concern 18.5%
Severe concern 18.0%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
