Initial analysis

The property at 1630-1632 Noriega Street is a single-story mixed-use building containing two residential units and ground floor commercial space, built in 1935 and currently owned by Liu Trust. The building has undergone several significant renovations and changes of use over the past decade, most notably a major remodeling project in 2017 that included kitchen and bathroom upgrades, bedroom conversions, and the addition of a skylight on the second floor, along with infrastructure improvements including a new furnace and water heater. In 2014, the building's commercial space transitioned from a medical shop to a massage spa, with associated renovations including ADA compliance upgrades and the installation of steam and sauna facilities. More recently, in 2023, the building underwent reroofing work costing approximately $24,800.

The property has faced some maintenance and compliance challenges, particularly during late 2017 when multiple complaints were filed regarding water leaks and mold issues affecting both the residential and commercial spaces. These issues appeared to stem from roof problems, though records indicate they were eventually addressed. The building also had a code violation in 2015 related to unauthorized use of garage space as a break room, which was resolved through compliance. The property has a mixed history of street-level cleanliness issues, with multiple 311 calls regarding garbage and debris between 2022 and 2024, and there are currently open concerns regarding sidewalk defects and tree root damage as of 2024. The most recent significant work on record, a reroofing project in 2023, suggests ongoing maintenance attention by the current ownership.

Risk rating

How 1630-1632 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, 65 are predicted to be safer.
