Initial analysis

The property at 909-911 Alvarado St is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in Noe Valley, constructed in 1963 and currently owned by the Annelies Habermacher Living Trust. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the past three decades, including a bathroom remodel in 1992, reroofing in 1989, and more recently, the installation of a 2.6 kW photovoltaic solar system and a fireplace in 2018, both of which were successfully completed. In 2011, there was an attempt to replace 2500 square feet of cedar shingles with hardie siding on the north and east sides of the building, though this permit ultimately expired.

The building's maintenance history reveals some past challenges with moisture issues, as documented in a 1998 housing inspection complaint regarding mold and mildew in the master bedroom, bathroom leaks from the unit above, and poorly sealed windows, though this complaint was noted as not active following abatement. Recent years have seen multiple 311 complaints primarily related to parking issues, with several reports of driveway blocking incidents between 2021-2023, though many of these cases were either not located or resolved through appropriate channels. Between 2020-2023, there were also various municipal service requests including concerns about trash receptacles, graffiti, and tree maintenance, all of which were addressed and closed by the respective city departments. The most recent service calls in 2023 have primarily involved parking-related matters, with one noise complaint that was determined to be invalid due to exemption for emergency vehicle sirens.

Risk rating

How 909-911 Alvarado 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.
