Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family residential building at 59-63 Noe Street in the Duboce Triangle neighborhood, owned by Gennaro Nicholas J & Carole, consists of 6 units and was constructed in 1900. The building has undergone several significant safety and maintenance upgrades in recent years, most notably completing a mandatory soft-story retrofit program in 2017 (with a cost of $60,000) and upgrading its fire alarm system in 2023 to comply with current fire codes (at a cost of $19,600). Recent improvements include a 2022 kitchen remodel in unit A with associated electrical and plumbing upgrades ($32,000), and earlier infrastructure work including sewer repairs (2011) and waste pipe replacement (2008).

Historical records show that the building experienced a cluster of violations in 2000 related to safety systems, including the fire alarm system, egress obstructions, and security requirements, all of which were abated by September 2000. More recent issues have primarily involved routine maintenance matters, including several 311 calls in 2023-2024 regarding sidewalk and street conditions, though most were promptly resolved. The property has been actively maintained, with the completion of various structural and system upgrades including roofing work (2010), dry rot siding replacement (2015), and electrical system improvements. A routine housing inspection in 2010 noted multiple issues including non-functioning windows and garbage concerns, but these appear to have been addressed in subsequent years. The building is classified as Tier 3 in San Francisco's Soft Story program, indicating that it has achieved compliance with seismic safety requirements.

Risk rating

How 59-63 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.

Neighborhood percentile

Out of 287 buildings in this neighborhood, 118 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Property class: single-family home

Single-family homes (class A) have distinct violation and complaint patterns from multi-family buildings.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 55.2%
Moderate concern 21.5%
Severe concern 23.3%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
