Initial analysis

The two-story, six-unit apartment building at 24 Felton St in the Portola neighborhood, constructed in 1964, has undergone several significant improvements over the past decade, with the most notable being a mandatory weak-story seismic retrofit completed in 2017 at a cost of $120,000, which included the installation of a Simpson Strong Frame. More recently, in 2022, there was a permitted siding replacement on the west side of the building, though this work did attract some controversy through a complaint about unpermitted work conditions and safety concerns, which was ultimately marked as not active. The building's maintenance history shows attention to roof and exterior maintenance, with reroofing projects completed in 2012 and 1995, and repairs to address dry rot damage in 2011.

The building has a documented history of fire safety issues, particularly in the early 2000s, with multiple violations related to fire escape maintenance, smoke enclosure door closers, and alarm system certification between 2000 and 2006. These issues were addressed and abated, and the building is currently listed as having a completed Soft Story retrofit (Tier 3) with CFC issued. More recent fire complaints from 2019, 2021, and 2022 regarding blocked exits and operating without a permit have either been resolved or marked as having no merit. The property has experienced recurring issues with garbage and debris management, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls for overflowing city garbage cans in January 2025, though these are primarily related to street cleaning rather than building maintenance. Regular routine inspections by Housing Inspection Services have been conducted, with the most recent occurring in 2011, suggesting consistent oversight of building conditions over time.

Risk rating

How 24 Felton 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.
