Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family residential building at 15-19 Noe Street in Duboce Triangle, owned by Leonard R Chetelat Lvg Tr 1, has undergone significant safety and habitability improvements over the past few years. The 6-unit structure, built in 1900, completed mandatory soft-story seismic retrofitting in 2022 at a cost of $80,000, and has implemented comprehensive fire safety upgrades including a new fire sprinkler system for the first floor ($15,000) and a modernized fire alarm system ($13,800) in 2022-2023. The building underwent a notable improvement in 2022 with the legalization of unit 15C, adding 553 square feet of living space with a bathroom and kitchen.

The property has had its share of maintenance challenges, including historical issues with fire, electrical outages, and water damage in the 1990s, though these were all resolved. Recent building upgrades have included plumbing improvements with new water pipes and sewer systems installed in 2023, and various electrical system improvements. The building's fire safety record shows several alarm activations over the years, though all were either unintentional or due to system malfunctions, with no civilian injuries ever recorded. Recent 311 calls from January 2025 primarily relate to street and sidewalk maintenance issues rather than building-specific concerns. The property's current status reflects compliance with major building safety requirements, with no active violations or open complaints regarding the building's condition or safety systems.

Risk rating

How 15-19 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
61th percentile

Out of 287 buildings in this neighborhood, 112 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.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 57.6%
Moderate concern 16.1%
Severe concern 26.2%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
