Initial analysis

The property at 1519-1521 Noriega Street is a three-story, two-unit multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Central Sunset neighborhood. Built in 1953 and currently owned by the Rosemary Hu Trust, this flats/duplex-style building has undergone several significant upgrades and maintenance work over the past decades. The most substantial recent renovation occurred in 2016, when the ground floor was extensively remodeled to add an exercise room, convert storage space to a home office, install a half bath, enlarge rear windows, add a laundry sink, and replace storage water heaters with new gas tankless water heaters, with work completed in May 2016 at a cost of $40,000. Prior to this, in 2013, the building received new roofing and furnace replacements, with the roof work issued at $8,200 and the furnace replacement completed under permit number PM20130502429.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to basic infrastructure, with plumbing and electrical work completed in conjunction with the 2016 remodeling project, including the installation of new plumbing fixtures and electrical components. Historical records indicate some earlier repairs, such as damage wall reframing in 1984 and window replacements to correct a code violation in 1993. The property has had minimal neighborhood issues, with only two reported incidents of sidewalk parking in September 2020, both of which were resolved when officers responded and were unable to locate the offending vehicles. Planning records confirm the 2016 ground floor alterations, noting the creation of separate laundry facilities and new bathroom amenities, with the work meeting the Rooms Down Matrix requirements.

Risk rating

How 1519-1521 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.
