Initial analysis

The three-story, six-unit multi-family residential building at 1820-1824 Fell Street in the Park North neighborhood was constructed in 1904 and is currently owned by Rachel D. Klyce and Mark Distler. The property has undergone several maintenance updates over the years, including a $11,000 reroofing project completed in 2017 and significant sewer line and house trap replacement work completed in 2011. A notable series of building violations was recorded in January 2004, primarily related to fire safety concerns, including issues with smoke detectors, fire escape maintenance, emergency egress obstructions, and fire extinguisher requirements - all of which were abated by March 2004. While there was one carbon monoxide incident recorded (date not provided) with no civilian injuries, this appears to be an isolated event.

The surrounding area has experienced numerous 311 calls in recent years, particularly throughout 2024, with issues ranging from encampments and trash dumping to parking violations and street cleaning needs. Of particular note is an open case from March 2024 regarding hazardous materials (glass) and general cleaning issues that were reported and subsequently resolved. There is also an ongoing administrative matter from July 2024 regarding utility access points and roadway obstruction. The building's maintenance record shows proper attention to major infrastructure systems, though tenants should be aware of the property's historical fire safety compliance issues from 2004, which were addressed at the time. The frequency of recent 311 calls in the immediate vicinity suggests ongoing neighborhood maintenance and safety monitoring requirements.

Risk rating

How 1820-1824 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
29th 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 56.7%
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.
