Initial analysis

731 Elizabeth Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in Noe Valley, built in 1900 and currently owned by the Eleanor A Laszlo 1987 Trust. The property underwent a significant bathroom renovation in 2008, which included cosmetic upgrades to tiles and fixtures, along with corresponding electrical and plumbing work totaling approximately $8,300. The renovation was performed professionally and all related permits have been marked as complete.

The building's recent history (2015-2019) has primarily involved external issues rather than problems with the building itself. The most notable cluster of incidents occurred between May and July 2015, when multiple reports of pavement defects were filed on adjacent streets, suggesting some roadway maintenance concerns in the area. In 2018, there was one report of a damaged tree that required removal, and between 2017-2019, there were several instances of abandoned vehicle complaints in the vicinity, though these were promptly addressed by the Department of Parking and Traffic, with vehicles either being towed or gone on arrival during inspection. A single incident of human or animal waste requiring street cleanup was reported and resolved in 2019. While these external incidents have been relatively minor and promptly addressed, they do indicate occasional neighborhood maintenance and enforcement issues in the surrounding area.

Risk rating

How 731 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, 413 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.

Neighborhood location

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

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

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 78.2%
Moderate concern 11.9%
Severe concern 9.9%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
