Initial analysis

The 650 Stanyan Street property is a three-story, 18-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1928, currently owned by the Jeffrey Litke Revocable Trust. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past few years, most notably a series of violations in 2018 related to deteriorating cornices, weatherproofing, fire safety, and lead paint hazards, all of which were finally abated by October 2019. During this same period, there were concerns about exterior paint stripping without proper containment for lead-based paint, and reports of facade issues threatening sidewalk safety. More recent concerns include an active routine inspection filed in March 2023 and a general maintenance complaint from September 2019 regarding fire proofing.

The building has undergone several major infrastructure upgrades over the years, including a complete electrical system modernization in 2003 with new 250-amp service and meters, a boiler replacement in 2013, and installation of a backflow preventer in 2012. The property has experienced multiple fire alarm activation incidents, though none resulted in injuries or confirmed fires. Recent 311 calls from December 2024 primarily relate to graffiti, public works requests, and street cleaning matters, suggesting ongoing exterior maintenance challenges. The building has also been the subject of wireless antenna installation proposals, with mixed outcomes including one denial and two approved projects for T-Mobile and Verizon equipment.

Risk rating

How 650 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.

Neighborhood percentile

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.

NOV rate, owner's portfolio

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

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 16.0%
Moderate concern 59.4%
Severe concern 24.6%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
