Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 701 Naples Street in the Excelsior neighborhood, owned by Chun Franklin, was constructed in 1911 and is classified as a Flats & Duplex. The property has undergone several documented improvements over the years, including a complete re-roofing project in late 2020 costing $6,500, the installation of additional gas and water meters for a new unit in 1984, and a house trap replacement completed in 2013. A complaint was filed in December 2020 regarding the re-roofing project, alleging improper permit posting and unauthorized parking space blockage, though this complaint was resolved within one day.

The property has experienced significant maintenance and environmental issues in recent months, with multiple service calls recorded between October 2024 and January 2025. These include recurring problems with abandoned garbage and debris on the property, with seven separate cases of discarded furniture, mattresses, and other waste recorded. Additional concerns during this period included an overgrown tree blocking signs (October 2024), sidewalk defects (October 2024), and an abandoned vehicle report (December 2024). The building's documented history shows regular maintenance work being carried out as needed, though the recent spate of waste and debris issues may indicate some challenges with waste management coordination at the property.

Risk rating

How 701 Naples 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.
