Initial analysis

The two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building at 648 Stanyan Street in the Haight Ashbury neighborhood, owned by Lee Curtis and Nina Gee, was constructed in 1916 and includes commercial space. Recent improvements to the property include a $4,000 accessibility upgrade in January 2024 to install self-opening doors and automatic push bars, demonstrating attention to meeting accessibility standards. The building has undergone some infrastructure work, including the relocation of a subpanel feed in 2006.

The property has experienced no significant fire incidents requiring evacuation or resulting in civilian injuries, though there have been three documented system malfunctions and false alarms. Recent concerns primarily relate to external maintenance issues, with a notable increase in complaints about graffiti, sidewalk conditions, and street cleanliness in late 2024. Between November 2024 and December 2024, there were multiple reports of graffiti on various surfaces, including poles and utility equipment, as well as a collapsed sidewalk defect issue. While most of these cases were resolved through official intervention, they indicate an ongoing challenge with building maintenance and public space upkeep in the immediate vicinity. A complaint filed in November 2023 through the 311 system expressing concerns about public officials' enforcement of codes and regulations is currently listed as not active.

Risk rating

How 648 Stanyan 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.
