Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family residential building at 1508-1510 Fell Street, owned by Harrison Place LLC, was constructed in 1900 and contains four units. The property has undergone several significant renovations and faced multiple compliance issues over the years. Most notably, in 2019, the building was subject to an active complaint (201931510) for performing unpermitted renovations, including kitchen and bathroom remodels along with drywall and flooring replacements. This led to the issuance of a Notice of Violation and subsequent work authorization to properly permit the replacement of 22 windows and extensive kitchen and bathroom remodeling across all units, costing approximately $206,000. The building's architectural upgrades were completed in early 2020, including plumbing work for faucet replacements and electrical work for outlet replacements.

The property has maintained a history of fire safety inspections and concerns, with the most recent incidents in October 2024 involving inspections of sprinkler systems, alarm systems, blocked exits, and extinguishers, all of which were found to have "No Merit." Previous fire safety issues were documented throughout the 2010s, with corrections made in 2015-2022 regarding alarm systems, extinguishers, and hazardous materials. The building experienced three fire-related incidents, including two smoke-related events and one lockout situation, none resulting in civilian injuries. Recent neighborhood activity around the building has included multiple 311 calls in late 2024 regarding park violations, graffiti, and encampments, though these are external to the building itself. The most recent routine inspection record dates back to March 2004, and historical records indicate the property was brought into code compliance in 1986.

Risk rating

How 1508-1510 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
45th percentile

Out of 797 buildings in this neighborhood, 438 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building age

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

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 57.9%
Moderate concern 21.0%
Severe concern 21.1%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
