Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family residential building at 1754-1756 Fell Street, owned by the Rose Bihui Yao Living Trust, has undergone significant renovations and maintenance since its construction in 1900. Most notably, in 2018-2019, the property underwent an extensive $325,000 renovation project including new foundation work, replacement of rear retaining walls, interior layout modifications, and updates to multiple floors including a new bathroom on the second floor and various plumbing upgrades such as high-efficiency furnaces and a bathroom remodel. The building received a new roof in August 2022, with $25,000 invested in composite shingles. Earlier infrastructure improvements include garage remodeling in 1990, and multiple stair repair projects in 2001 addressing rotted wood issues.

Recent maintenance and quality-of-life issues in the vicinity of the building are evidenced by multiple 311 calls between 2022-2024, primarily related to waste management (toter placement) and graffiti incidents. The most recent structural work on record is the 2022 re-roofing project, while several plumbing improvements occurred between 2018-2021 including shower pan installations and air conditioning system updates. The building has also been involved in various community service initiatives, including a 2023 charitable institution designation related to family counseling and psychotherapy services. While the building has maintained active permits for various improvements, recent calls regarding the property have primarily concerned external factors rather than structural or safety issues within the building itself.

Risk rating

How 1754-1756 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, 112 are predicted to be safer.
