Initial analysis

The 6-unit multi-family residential building at 689-691 14th Street in Mission Dolores, owned by Lay Mee Tung Wong Revoc Tru, was constructed in 1900 and spans three stories. The building underwent significant improvements in 2017-2018, including ADA bathroom compliance updates, plumbing fixture replacements, and the installation of a ceiling fan. A major plumbing upgrade occurred in October 2022 with a 15-foot sewer line replacement. The property has a noteworthy commercial history, transitioning from a liquor store to a bar (Fig & Thistle) in 2018, with associated permits for beer and wine sales.

Routine housing inspections in 2019 revealed multiple maintenance items, including issues with water heater safety, shower faucet repairs, and various safety system requirements, all of which were abated by April 2019. The building has experienced several fire alarm system activations and one gas leak incident, though none resulted in civilian injuries. The property's maintenance history shows regular attention to building systems, including the replacement of plumbing fixtures and various safety improvements. Recent 311 calls in late 2024 primarily relate to street-level issues such as graffiti, garbage, and parking concerns, rather than building-specific problems.

Risk rating

How 689-691 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.

Neighborhood percentile
58th percentile

Out of 799 buildings in this neighborhood, 336 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 age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 57.6%
Moderate concern 18.4%
Severe concern 23.9%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
