Initial analysis

The two-story, five-unit apartment building at 633 Lincoln Way in San Francisco's Inner Sunset district was constructed in 1923 and is currently owned by Haas Shoko Furuya. The building has undergone routine safety inspections by Housing Inspection Services in 2002 and 2011, both of which were completed without any noted ongoing issues. In terms of building permits, there was an issued permit for street space usage in 2005, though the cost was listed as $0.00.

Recent records from January 2025 show a concerning pattern of garbage and debris issues, with eight separate reports of overflowing city garbage cans in just over two weeks, all of which were resolved by Recology. The building has also experienced several fire safety incidents over the years, though none resulted in civilian injuries. These incidents include one carbon monoxide incident, a malfunctioning smoke detector, and three instances of steam or gas readings mistaken for smoke, along with three false alarms or calls. Despite these incidents, it is noteworthy that none of these fire-related events resulted in actual fires or injuries. Additionally, there is one open case from December 2024 related to a defaced parking sign, which is being addressed by the MTA Sign Shop.

Risk rating

How 633 Lincoln Way'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 (ZIP code)

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.
