Initial analysis

The property at 2050-2060 Fell Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by the Holman Revocable Trust. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and compliance-related events over the past decades, with the most pressing current concern being its non-compliant status under San Francisco's mandatory Soft Story Retrofit Program (as of 2017). The building's historical maintenance records show consistent upkeep, including recent stair repairs and stucco work completed in 2021 ($3,500), a boiler replacement in 2007, water service repair in 2009, and multiple roofing projects between 1999-2005 totaling over $62,000.

Several safety and compliance issues have been documented, most notably a 2021 complaint about deteriorating front stairs and landing areas. The building also faced multiple violations in 2003 related to handrails, weatherproofing, and gas utility shutoff tools, all of which were abated. A 2022 fire safety inspection noted concerns with fire extinguishers, though this was subsequently resolved. The property has experienced recurring issues with parking enforcement in the surrounding area, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls for vehicles blocking driveways or parking on sidewalks throughout 2022-2024. While the building's maintenance history shows regular attention to structural and safety issues, the outstanding Soft Story Retrofit Program non-compliance and recent concerns about stair deterioration warrant attention.

Risk rating

How 2050-2060 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
64th percentile

Out of 797 buildings in this neighborhood, 287 are predicted to be safer.

DBI tenant complaints (past 7 years)

Formal complaints tenants filed with DBI about this building over 7 years.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.
