Initial analysis

The three-story, multi-family residential building at 930-932 Castro Street in Noe Valley is a duplex structure built in 1907, currently owned by the Schanz Bortman Family Living Trust. Over the past two decades, the property has undergone several significant improvements and maintenance projects. Most recently, in 2017, the building received a complete re-roofing costing $15,000. The property has experienced some infrastructure challenges, including two sewage backup incidents in March 2015, which were promptly resolved. A notable interior renovation took place in 2007, consisting of bathroom remodels on the second and third floors, bedroom remodeling, and window replacements on the third floor, with this work costing approximately $60,000.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to safety concerns, as evidenced by a 2010 project to repair front exterior stairs and replace weather-exposed components. Electrical and plumbing systems have received upgrades, including a kitchen rewiring project in 2004 (completed) and a wall furnace replacement in 2015 (permit expired). Several infrastructure projects were completed between 2002-2004, including deck reconstruction and foundation work, with the electrical system receiving significant upgrades through multiple permits. The property has experienced minimal serious issues, with only one meritorious fire complaint in 2010 regarding weeds and grass. Recent municipal service calls have primarily involved external matters such as street maintenance, tree issues, and general cleaning, with no significant resident-impacting problems reported in recent years. The building's permit and maintenance history suggests regular upkeep and timely addressing of infrastructure needs over time.

Risk rating

How 930-932 Castro 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 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 601 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 79.7%
Moderate concern 13.0%
Severe concern 7.3%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
