AI summary

The two-unit residential building at 1908-1910 Fell Street in Park North, owned by the Elliott-Hibbeler Family Trust, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1924. The property has undergone several notable maintenance activities over the years, including a sewer replacement in 2011 and a reroofing project in 1998, though the roofing permit is now expired. The building has experienced recurring issues with street cleanliness, particularly in late 2024 and early 2025, with multiple reports (at least seven) of garbage and debris needing attention from various city services, many of which were associated with homeless encampments. A significant plumbing issue occurred in October 2024, involving a sewage backup discharge from a side sewer vent that necessitated intervention from Sewer Operations.

The property has had several fire alarm incidents, all of which were unintentional and resulted in no injuries or actual fires, including three detector activations, one system malfunction, and one contained cooking fire. On the regulatory front, there have been two parking-related enforcement actions in late 2024, one for sidewalk parking and another for blocking a driveway, both of which were resolved with citations. While the building has generally maintained basic compliance with city regulations, the most pressing recent issues appear to be related to street cleanliness and waste management in the immediate vicinity, particularly in relation to abandoned garbage and debris.

Risk rating

How 1908-1910 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
72th percentile

Out of 797 buildings in this neighborhood, 223 are predicted to be safer.
