Initial analysis

The property at 2588 Noriega Street is a 3-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building with retail space, built in 1987 and currently held in the Yang Chung Lang 1992 Trust. The building has experienced several significant issues over its history, most notably a fire incident in 1999 that required wall repairs (permit# 9923510) and subsequent fire-related violations in 2010 and 2018 involving extinguishers and multiple code violations, though these were eventually corrected or abated. Recent concerns include two notable complaints in 2019 regarding suspected illegal unit modifications and zoning height violations, as well as unauthorized equipment installations on the roof (2017) and issues with unpermitted fan/exhaust ductwork (2004). The building underwent accessibility improvements in 2022 with the installation of new signage to direct users to an alternate accessible entrance.

The property has had recurring fire alarm activations between 2004 and 2020, though these were typically for system malfunctions or detector activations with no fire or injuries reported. A grease trap was installed in 2011, and various signage and street space permits have been processed over the years. Recent activity around the property (as of January 2025) shows multiple 311 calls primarily related to street cleaning, garbage disposal, and sidewalk maintenance, though these are typical urban neighborhood issues and not directly related to the building's condition. Two tenant buyouts were recorded in March 2019, totaling $94,000 for four tenants, suggesting some unit consolidation occurred at that time. The property's maintenance history shows a mix of compliance and violation history, with the most recent fire safety-related issues dating back to 2018.

Risk rating

How 2588 Noriega 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 814 buildings in this neighborhood, 684 are predicted to be safer.
