Initial analysis

The three-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 651 Morse Street in the Crocker Amazon neighborhood, owned by Douglas R. Roomian, has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects since its construction in 1915. Most recently, in September 2024, the building received a substantial $17,000 re-roofing project, representing the latest investment in the property's maintenance. The building has a documented history of solar energy improvements, with a solar electric intertie system comprising 16 modules installed in 2003, including both building and electrical permits for the installation of modules, inverter, and utility connection.

Recent incidents affecting the property and its surroundings between February 2024 and January 2025 show a pattern of parking enforcement issues, with multiple requests for service regarding illegal parking and driveway blocking, though officers were generally unable to locate the offending vehicles. The property experienced several street maintenance challenges in 2024, including two instances of abandoned furniture (a mattress and other items) on public property, and a sewage discharge issue from a catch basin that was promptly resolved by PUC Sewer Operations. A minor maintenance issue regarding weeds and grass was addressed in June 2015. The building's owner recently completed a tenant buyout agreement at a nearby address (538 Brunswick Street) for $47,200 involving two tenants in November 2024, though this transaction is not directly related to the Morse Street property.

Risk rating

How 651 Morse 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 119 buildings in this neighborhood, 51 are predicted to be safer.
