Initial analysis

2100 Fell Street is a 14-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1925, currently owned by DPM LLC. The building has undergone significant seismic safety improvements, including mandatory first-floor strengthening work completed in 2019 under San Francisco's Soft Story Ordinance, for which a $150,000 permit was obtained. The property has experienced recurring issues with basic services and safety systems, most notably a recent hot water outage in February 2023, and multiple fire safety concerns including alarm system violations in 2023 and 2024, as well as fire escape maintenance issues. Historical violations from 2000 included numerous interior surface problems (walls, ceilings, floors), water damage issues, and safety/security concerns, though these were all abated by April 2000.

The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to structural and safety systems, including multiple fire safety inspections and corrections between 2016-2024 related to fire alarms, extinguishers, and exit maintenance. Recent complaints in late 2024 focused on exterior maintenance issues including graffiti and debris, which have been addressed through city services. The property has maintained compliance with its Soft Story requirements, achieving "Work Complete" status with a Certificate of Final Completion (CFC) issued. While the building has experienced various infrastructure challenges over the years, particularly in terms of heating systems (notably a complete heat outage in 2001), many basic safety and structural issues have been systematically addressed through permitted repairs and city enforcement actions.

Risk rating

How 2100 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
6th percentile

Out of 797 buildings in this neighborhood, 749 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.

NOV rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building NOV rate across everything this owner manages — high rates signal pattern neglect.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 12.8%
Moderate concern 61.8%
Severe concern 25.5%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
