Initial analysis

The two-unit, two-story building at 691 Morse Street in the Crocker Amazon neighborhood, owned by Baltazar Medina Irrevoc Lvg, has faced several significant challenges in recent years, particularly regarding safety and maintenance issues. Most notably, in early 2024, the building suffered fire damage to its siding that required a $60,000 repair project, which is currently in progress following a Notice of Violation. This was part of a pattern of concerning conditions, as there has been an active complaint since October 2022 regarding construction materials and safety hazards, including abandoned scaffolding that was reportedly used for a home intrusion. The property has also had recurring issues with water damage, including a $12,000 repair project in 2022 to address dry rot from leaking windows, and multiple violations of safety standards.

The building's maintenance history shows some attempts at modernization, with a 2013 electrical upgrade to 200 amps and the installation of solar panels, though these improvements were overshadowed by ongoing building concerns. A 2017 housing inspection revealed multiple problems including mold, pest issues, and non-functional appliances, which suggests persistent maintenance challenges. More recently, in 2024, there was a general hazardous materials complaint that was ultimately found to have no merit, though this adds to the building's pattern of regulatory scrutiny. The property is currently facing multiple active complaints and recent 311 calls related to garbage, debris, and encampment issues in the vicinity, indicating ongoing environmental and security challenges around the building's location.

Risk rating

How 691 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
46th percentile

Out of 119 buildings in this neighborhood, 64 are predicted to be safer.
