Initial analysis

The Reierstad Family Trust owns this two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building located at 1664-1670 Fell Street in the Park North neighborhood. Built in 1900, the property has undergone significant renovations in recent years, with major work occurring between 2022-2023 including foundation replacement, seismic upgrades, and extensive unit remodeling. These improvements involved temporary shoring construction ($12,000), rear roof raising, deck enclosure, concrete stem walls, and comprehensive plumbing and electrical system upgrades across all units, with work totaling over $62,000. Noteworthy plumbing work included major fixture relocations, installation of four new bathrooms, and furnace modifications, while electrical upgrades involved panel replacements and complete rewiring of units. The building previously faced several building violations in 2001 related to fire safety and other concerns, which were promptly abated.

Recent complaints filed in 2023 raised concerns about unpermitted construction work, including significant basement excavation and unauthorized modifications, though these complaints are now marked as not active. The property has a history of infrastructure maintenance, with records showing sewer repairs, water heater installations, and gas line work through the years. Regular electrical maintenance has been documented, including circuit upgrades and appliance installations. The building's parking and access issues have been frequently addressed, with multiple citations issued for parking violations in late 2024. Recent 311 calls have primarily concerned graffiti removal and parking enforcement. While the property has undergone substantial improvements and major system upgrades, the recent complaints regarding unpermitted work and modifications have been noted as a significant concern in the building's recent history.

Risk rating

How 1664-1670 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.
