Initial analysis

The 6-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 1658-1660 Fell Street in Park North, owned by the Dunlop Donald H 1992 Trust, has a substantial maintenance history dating back to its construction in 1900. The building underwent significant structural improvements in the early 1990s following earthquake damage, including new foundation installation and comprehensive repairs. Recent maintenance records show proactive upkeep, with two completed reroofing projects in 2005 ($15,700) and 2007 ($22,700). A routine safety inspection by Housing Inspection Services was filed in July 2017, with no active violations noted.

The property has experienced several maintenance and quality of life challenges in recent months, with the most concerning being a rodent/insect infestation report in November 2023 that was transferred to the Department of Public Health for follow-up. There have also been multiple incidents of graffiti reported in late 2023 and early 2024, though not all were found to be present upon inspection. The surrounding area has seen recurring issues with sidewalk parking violations, particularly in late 2023 and throughout 2024, with multiple citations issued. Recent 311 calls from 2024 indicate ongoing concerns with park service areas, including trash dumping, park rule violations, and general maintenance needs, all of which were marked as resolved. While the building's structural systems appear to be generally well-maintained based on historical permit data, these recent issues suggest ongoing challenges related to building surroundings and environmental factors.

Risk rating

How 1658-1660 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

Out of 797 buildings in this neighborhood, 566 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 size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

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 56.8%
Moderate concern 21.8%
Severe concern 21.5%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
