Initial analysis

The two-story multi-family residential building at 73-75 Noe Street in the Duboce Triangle neighborhood, owned by the West Family Bypass C Trust, has a documented history dating back to its 1900 construction. The 3-unit apartment building has undergone several significant maintenance and infrastructure improvements over the past decades, including a reroofing project in 2010 costing $5,300, plumbing upgrades in 2011-2012 involving water main relay and sewer house trap work, and a gas meter relocation in 2008. Safety improvements were undertaken in 1985 with the installation of handrails for front and rear stairs.

Recent years have seen concerning maintenance issues, including a significant water damage incident reported in January 2023 involving black mold, water damage, and paint issues, followed by a more recent concern in November 2024 regarding rotting wood in the fire escape exterior staircase. The building has a history of compliance-related matters, with a 2000 violation regarding egress obstruction at rear stairs that was resolved, and more recently, violations filed in late 2024 concerning a compliance affidavit requirement that were abated in January 2025. The property has maintained its basic infrastructure, as evidenced by completed plumbing work and multiple roofing projects, but the recent pattern of water-related issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.

Risk rating

How 73-75 Noe 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.
