Initial analysis

This two-unit multi-family residential building, located at 706 Douglass St in Noe Valley, has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects since its construction in 1900. Most recently, in August 2024, repair work was initiated to address dry rot issues on both exterior stairs and siding at the back of the house, though these affected less than 50% of the total area. In 2022-2023, the property underwent substantial interior improvements including a comprehensive kitchen remodel ($60,000) with new layout, windows, and electrical work, as well as plumbing modifications to accommodate an island sink, washing machine, and relocated water heater. The building's maintenance history reveals attention to essential systems, with a furnace replacement recorded in 2016 and multiple sewer repairs in 2012, including one that required a Street space & sidewalk permit.

The property has experienced recurring issues with parking enforcement, with multiple citations issued between 2021 and 2024 for vehicles blocking the driveway. Infrastructure concerns have been documented, particularly regarding tree roots lifting the sidewalk, with reports filed in both 2021 and 2023, as well as a sidewalk defect reported in 2020. A sewage backup incident occurred in June 2016, which was promptly addressed by city officials. Historical improvements include the replacement of a deck and storage area in 2006, and electrical upgrades completed in 2006. The building's management has generally pursued necessary repairs and upgrades thoughout the years, with most recent work focusing on both interior modernization and exterior maintenance.

Risk rating

How 706 Douglass 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
84th percentile

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 301 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.

Building age

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

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.

Neighborhood location

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 68.2%
Moderate concern 21.6%
Severe concern 10.2%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
