Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1543-1545 Noriega St, located in San Francisco's Central Sunset neighborhood, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1954 and currently owned by Cuong C Quach. The property underwent significant improvements in 2004, including a substantial basement renovation that added a bedroom, social room, and half bath, along with the installation of smoke detectors in bedrooms. This renovation was accompanied by comprehensive electrical upgrades, including the installation of new lighting, switches, receptacles, and a 200-amp electrical service upgrade with three meters. Prior to these improvements, the building had an expired reroofing permit from 1993 on record.

Recent municipal service calls between 2021 and 2024 show recurring issues with street cleaning and garbage debris around the property, including multiple reports of loose garbage, bagged waste, and two notable clusters of garbage incidents in 2023-2024. The building's immediate vicinity has experienced several parking-related challenges, with multiple complaints about driveway blocking between 2021 and 2023, resulting in citations being issued to offending vehicles. The only recorded fire-related incident was a false alarm system activation with no fire or injuries involved. An open property damage case was reported in November 2022, though no specific details were provided, and numerous street cleaning issues have been documented through 311 calls. The building's permit and maintenance history suggests it received substantial modernization in 2004, particularly regarding safety features and electrical systems, though no recent major improvements have been recorded in the past two decades.

Risk rating

How 1543-1545 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.
