Initial analysis

The two-story multi-family residential building at 897-899 Elizabeth Street, located in Noe Valley and owned by the Gilda Dunn Revoc Tr, has undergone significant renovations and improvements since 2021. Built in 1906, this four-unit apartment building has seen major upgrades to its systems and living spaces, beginning with a comprehensive $350,000 renovation in early 2022 that included reconfiguring interior floor plans, remodeling bathrooms and kitchens, and upgrading the entire electrical system. This work was preceded by a violation notice in December 2021 regarding unpermitted interior demolition, which was addressed through proper permitting. Subsequent improvements in 2022 included the installation of new heating furnaces for all units, complete plumbing system replacement including five bathrooms and four kitchens, electrical upgrades with new 400-amp service, and the repair of damaged stucco and dry rot issues at the rear of the building, totaling around $38,000.

More recent modifications were completed in March 2023, including changes to the rear stair configuration and the addition of a Juliette balcony, washer/dryer installations, and kitchen updates. The building's maintenance history shows attention to both structural and safety needs, with historical violations from 2001 related to fire safety and security requirements being resolved by September 2001. The property's recent history (2022-2023) demonstrates active maintenance and upgrading of essential systems, though there have been several 311 calls in 2024 regarding external issues such as garbage debris and parking concerns near the property, which were generally resolved by city services. The building's significant renovations and system upgrades over the past two years suggest a conscientious approach to maintaining and improving living conditions, with all major work being properly permitted and completed.

Risk rating

How 897-899 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.
