Initial analysis

The property at 599 Athens Street in the Excelsior neighborhood is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building with a commercial space, constructed in 1927 and currently owned by the Lucchesi Family Trust. The building has undergone significant renovations and repairs over the past decade, with particular attention to structural issues in 2012-2013, including multiple dry rot repairs to exterior walls, floor framing, and sill plates, as well as updates to stairs, fencing, and siding. Major improvements in 2012 included a comprehensive renovation of one unit's kitchen, bathroom, and electrical system, along with the installation of new 300-amp service with multiple sub-panels to support residential and commercial needs. More recent modifications include the 2018 installation of an accessible business entrance with automatic door opener at the commercial space, followed by necessary electrical work in 2019.

The building has a history of maintenance and compliance issues, with several building complaints filed between 2011 and 2013 regarding unsafe conditions and unauthorized alterations, though these were generally addressed through subsequent permits and repairs. The property has required multiple plumbing updates, including water service replacement in 2016 and various drainage and fixture improvements between 2012-2013. Of particular note is the recent pattern of street cleaning calls (ten in total) between November 2024 and January 2025, suggesting ongoing concerns with garbage and debris management in the immediate vicinity, though most were resolved with no work needed. While the building's records show substantial investment in repairs and improvements over the years, particularly during the 2012-2013 period when multiple structural issues were addressed, there have been recurring maintenance needs and some historical compliance challenges that required post-complaint remediation.

Risk rating

How 599 Athens 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.
