Initial analysis

The 12-unit, 3-story apartment building at 672 Minna Street in San Francisco's South of Market neighborhood, owned by Giuseppe R. Marasco, was constructed in 1910 and has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the years. Most recently, there have been fire safety concerns, with violations noted in 2024 regarding alarm systems and in 2023 related to fire extinguisher maintenance. The building's fire safety record shows recurring issues with alarm systems and extinguishers, with violations issued in 2018, 2020, 2022, and 2024, although many were subsequently abated or corrected. A cluster of building violations was documented in July 2003, including problems with handrails, stairs, fire escape maintenance, and various building systems, though these were resolved by August 2003.

More recent complaints indicate ongoing maintenance challenges, including problems with the intercom system in 2013-2016, window security issues in 2014, and plumbing problems in 2012. Two significant building permits were issued - for brick parapet work in 1988 and to comply with an unspecified ordinance in 1996. The property has faced multiple fire incidents, though none resulted in injuries, primarily involving false alarms or system malfunctions. The building's infrastructure has required regular attention, particularly regarding fire safety systems, with numerous citations for improper maintenance or non-compliance with safety standards.

Risk rating

How 672 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.

Neighborhood percentile

Out of 430 buildings in this neighborhood, 322 are predicted to be safer.
