Initial analysis

The 3-story, 15+ unit multi-family residential building at 693 14th Street, owned by Fel Properties B14 De LLC, was built in 1914 and has undergone substantial recent improvements focused on safety and resident comfort. Most notably, in 2024, the building has received attention to critical safety systems, including a fire alarm system upgrade to current codes with low-frequency sounders in sleeping areas ($49,605) and a reroofing project ($20,850). The property has also completed its mandatory soft-story seismic retrofit requirements. Between 2019 and 2022, multiple units (including #3, #4, #11, #16, #17, #26, #27, #28, and #30) have received comprehensive renovations including kitchen and bathroom rehabilitation, washer/dryer installations, and associated electrical and plumbing upgrades, with costs ranging from $5,000 to $40,000 per unit.

The building has experienced recurring issues with its fire safety systems, as evidenced by multiple fire complaints and violations between 2019 and 2024, including problems with blocked exits, alarm systems, and extinguishers. Two recent violations (2023-2024) regarding sleeping area requirements and UL certification are particularly noteworthy. There were also historical violations from 2000 related to various safety and maintenance issues, including smoke enclosure door closers and garbage receptacle placement, though these were abated by 2010. The property has generated several recent complaints regarding building management and maintenance, particularly in 2024-2025, though many of these complaints have since been closed or marked as not active. Maintenance of common areas has been a concern, with numerous 311 calls in early 2025 regarding garbage and debris issues, though these primarily relate to municipal garbage service rather than building management.

Risk rating

How 693 14Th 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.
