Initial analysis

The 11-unit, 4-story apartment building at 650 Church St, owned by Nozari 2 LLC, has undergone significant renovations and faced recurring maintenance issues over the past several years. Built in 1900, this multi-family residential building has seen extensive unit improvements since 2016, particularly in Unit 4, which underwent major renovations including bathroom and kitchen remodeling, and added one bedroom to create a total of three bedrooms. The building has maintained active plumbing and electrical upgrades throughout the years, including multiple kitchen and bathroom remodels across different units, wiring upgrades, and the installation of new fixtures.

Recent concerns include several fire safety violations and complaints, particularly regarding alarm systems, sprinkler systems, and exit maintenance, with the latest fire complaint regarding exit maintenance filed in September 2023. The building experienced a chimney removal incident in 2018 that affected all units, and there have been recurring fire alarm and security access issues. Maintenance and compliance work has generally been addressed, as seen in the completion of various repair permits in 2019, including door repairs and handrail improvements.

Risk rating

How 650 Church 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

Lower risk — safer than most nearby

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Typical — about average for the neighborhood

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Higher risk — riskier than most nearby

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
4thpercentile

Out of 1278 buildings in this neighborhood, 1227 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

DBI complaint rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building complaint rate across the owner's portfolio.

DBI tenant complaints (past 7 years)

Formal complaints tenants filed with DBI about this building over 7 years.

Building age
