Initial analysis

The 653-655 Minna Street property is a three-story, multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's South of Market neighborhood. Built in 1915 and containing three units, this building has undergone several significant renovations and repairs over the past few decades, with the most recent work including exterior siding repairs ($8,500) in 2022 and a comprehensive kitchen and bathroom remodel in Unit A ($35,000) in 2022, which included both plumbing and electrical upgrades. The building has faced various maintenance challenges, particularly with stairs and rot issues, as evidenced by multiple repair permits between 2007 and 2011, including a voluntary seismic upgrade of the soft-story structure completed in 2010 at a cost of $30,000. In 2011, the building underwent a health and safety inspection that resulted in multiple violations related to security, building, electrical, and sanitation issues, all of which were ultimately resolved by January 2012.

More recent records show ongoing maintenance and safety compliance efforts, including a fire violation regarding sprinkler/standpipe systems in August 2024, though this was recorded at an adjacent address (1155 Mission St) and was abated. The property has also seen various 311 calls in early 2025 related to street cleaning, graffiti, and encampments in the vicinity, though these external issues do not directly affect the building's condition. Historical records indicate an attempted but ultimately cancelled project to build a garden apartment at street level in 2000, and a variance request for basement-level unit addition without additional parking requirements, though it's unclear from the records if this was ultimately pursued or completed. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of addressing both routine upkeep and more substantial renovations, with particular attention paid to structural and safety improvements over the years.

Risk rating

How 653-655 Minna 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.
