Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 51-53 Noe Street, located in San Francisco's Duboce Triangle neighborhood, is a three-story flats and duplex structure built in 1900 and currently owned by Sean Golliher. The property has undergone several significant improvements and maintenance work over the past two decades, with the most recent major work being a completed sewer repair in June 2024. Impressive upgrades were made in 2021-2022, including the installation of heat pumps throughout all units (2021), conversion to a heat pump water heater system, and a comprehensive solar panel installation featuring 27 modules. In 2022, the building underwent exterior improvements including the demolition and replacement of rear staircases and a new door installation, though this permit remains in filed status.

The building has a history of addressing maintenance issues, including a notable fungus damage repair to the rear stairlines in 2016 (completed), and previous stair repair work in 2000 that resulted in several violations related to egress obstruction and safety requirements, though these were resolved by October 2000. Tenancy records indicate that buyouts occurred in March 2022 for both units, totaling $67,201.71. The property has experienced some recent challenges with parking violations and sidewalk maintenance, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls throughout 2024, particularly regarding parking on the sidewalk and debris issues. Historical permits show various improvements including a roof replacement in 2007, stair tread replacements, window trim work, and facade beautification projects, demonstrating regular maintenance and upgrading of building systems. The building's management has addressed multiple housing inspection findings over the years, particularly focusing on safety and maintenance compliance, with all known violations having been resolved.

Risk rating

How 51-53 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, 29 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 age

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

Neighborhood location

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

Owner's portfolio size

Number of SF parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios have distinct risk patterns.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 72.8%
Moderate concern 20.6%
Severe concern 6.5%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
