Initial analysis

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 670 Tennessee Street, owned by the Angell Family Survivor's Trust, was constructed in 1900 and stands as a two-story flats and duplex structure. The property's maintenance record shows several significant safety-related issues over the past decade, with multiple incidents of blocked exits documented through fire complaints in 2009, 2012 (three occurrences), and most recently in July 2023, when a violation was issued. The building has experienced two fire alarm system incidents requiring attention in 2008 and 2015, with the latter resulting in a corrected condition. A plumbing upgrade was completed in 2011 with the replacement of a gas water heater, and there was a kitchen renovation attempted in 2002 involving countertop extension and related improvements.

The most concerning recent incident occurred in July 2023, when multiple fire violations were documented at an address associated with the property (501 Minnesota St), including issues with blocked exits/storage in pathways, improper electrical extension cord usage, and missing fire extinguishers - though these violations were subsequently abated. The building's recent history has been marked by numerous parking enforcement calls between October 2024 and December 2024, primarily related to driveway blockage and illegal parking (though these are external to the building's internal conditions). Other recent incidents near the property include occasional reports of graffiti (resolved by the Street and Environmental Services Crew) and a traffic signal damage incident, both from September 2024.

Risk rating

How 670 Tennessee 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
72th percentile

Out of 74 buildings in this neighborhood, 21 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.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Building age

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

Property class: multi-family flat

2–4 unit flats (class F) are a common SF building type with their own maintenance and complaint patterns.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 56.1%
Moderate concern 32.8%
Severe concern 11.1%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
