Initial analysis

The two-unit multi-family residential building at 969-971 Elizabeth Street in Noe Valley, constructed in 1908, has undergone significant recent improvements focusing primarily on modernization and maintenance. Between 2022 and 2024, the property owners, Baker Casey Wright & Kimber, have invested substantially in the building, completing major renovations including a comprehensive electrical system upgrade with new 200-amp service and full rewiring of both units, kitchen and bathroom remodels in both units, and various plumbing improvements. Notable recent work includes a bathroom remodel completed in 2024 ($26,000), kitchen restoration in unit 969 in 2023 ($3,500), and multiple electrical and plumbing upgrades to bring the building's systems up to current codes.

Historical maintenance records show attention to structural integrity, with previous work including carport repairs in 2011, and stucco removal and wood repairs in 2001. The property has had minimal tenant-related issues, with only a few 311 calls recorded in recent years, primarily related to external matters such as street cleaning and graffiti, rather than building-specific concerns. The most recent building permits (2023-2024) suggest proactive maintenance and improvement of the property rather than any significant structural or safety concerns, with all recent permits successfully completed. The owners have demonstrated a commitment to maintaining and upgrading the property, as evidenced by the substantial investments in both unit improvements and overall building systems infrastructure.

Risk rating

How 969-971 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.

Neighborhood percentile

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 0 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 permits (past 7 years)

Number of permits pulled at this address — construction or renovation activity over 7 years.

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.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 88.3%
Moderate concern 9.7%
Severe concern 2.0%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
