Initial analysis

The three-story mixed-use building at 1245 Noriega Street, located in San Francisco's Central Sunset neighborhood, was built in 1922 and contains two residential units above ground-floor retail space. The property has undergone several significant improvements in recent years, with particular attention to accessibility compliance and sustainability upgrades. In 2019, major renovations were completed to the building's lower entrance and restroom facilities to meet ADA requirements, including associated plumbing and electrical work totaling $15,000. More recently, in 2021, the building received a solar power installation with 23 photovoltaic modules and a 7.475 kW system, demonstrating a commitment to sustainable energy practices.

The property has experienced recurring issues with parking enforcement, particularly regarding vehicles blocking driveways, with multiple citations issued between July and September 2023, though officers were unable to locate vehicles in several cases. There are currently several open maintenance issues from 2024, including general cleaning needs and tree root damage to the sidewalk, though these appear to be municipal infrastructure concerns rather than building-specific problems. The building's ground-floor retail space, known as Noriega Cafe Inc, received necessary approvals from the Department of Public Health and the ABC (Alcohol Beverage Control) for Type 41 (On-Sale Beer and Wine) operations. Prior to relocating to the current address, the owners conducted a tenant buyout at 1762 20th Avenue in 2017, compensating two tenants with $30,000.

Risk rating

How 1245 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
28th percentile

Out of 814 buildings in this neighborhood, 586 are predicted to be safer.
