Initial analysis

The property at 1806 Noriega Street in San Francisco's Central Sunset neighborhood is a 1-story, 2-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1932, currently owned by Andrew Fong and Betty Woo Cho. The building has undergone several significant improvements, most notably a comprehensive kitchen remodel in 2018 that included new cabinets, appliances, and tile flooring, along with electrical upgrades that doubled the main service from 50 amps to 120 amps, including the installation of new lighting, switches, receptacles, and a 120-amp subpanel. This renovation, which cost $38,000, was completed using proper building, plumbing, and electrical permits. The property has received regular maintenance attention over the years, with roofing work completed in 1991 and 2011, showing ongoing care for the building's infrastructure.

Recent building conditions have raised some concerns, particularly regarding the property's current status as a "commercial/business vacant structure" as of June 2023, though this complaint is currently listed as "Not Active." The surrounding area has experienced numerous street cleaning and maintenance issues in the past year, with multiple reports of garbage, debris, and overflowing city garbage cans between October 2022 and September 2024, suggesting ongoing challenges with public space maintenance in the vicinity. Encampment reports and instances of hazardous materials (such as glass) have also been documented near the property, with the most recent incidents occurring in mid-2023. While these external issues do not directly impact the building's structural integrity or internal conditions, they may affect the general environment around the property.

Risk rating

How 1806 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.
