Initial analysis

The property at 840-844 Elizabeth Street is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building located in Noe Valley, constructed in 1903 and currently owned by the Blincoe Gladys Revocable Trust. The building has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over the past decades, with the most recent being the water heater replacement scheduled for July 2024. In 2016, substantial exterior work was completed, including removal of stucco, refurbishment of siding, and installation of decorative shingles and trim, with a reported cost of $60,000. Historical records show several important maintenance activities, including reroofing and chimney removal in 1995, and a code compliance upgrade in 1986.

The building has experienced two routine housing inspections, one in 2001 and another in 2011, with multiple violations noted in the 2001 inspection. These violations, all of which were abated by September 2001, included issues with handrails, self-closing door devices, garbage receptacle placement, and egress obstructions. The property has had no active violations since 2011. Recent external issues near the property have been primarily related to tree maintenance, with overgrown tree pruning requests submitted in May 2024, and a few parking-related incidents between 2022 and 2024. All historical violations and complaints have been resolved, and the most recent building improvement work suggests ongoing property maintenance by the current owners.

Risk rating

How 840-844 Elizabeth 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.
