Initial analysis

The three-unit residential building at 69-71 Walter Street in the Duboce Triangle, owned by Nelson/noyon Living Trust, is a three-story flats and duplex structure built in 1904. Since the early 2000s, the property has undergone several significant improvements, including a complete reroofing in 2005 ($7,850), the reconstruction of rear stairs in 2002 ($12,600), and substantial basement work in 2011 including concrete slab installation ($4,000), beam-to-column connections ($800), and new partition walls ($2,000). Most notably, a complete sewer line and house trap replacement was completed in September 2012, suggesting attention to maintaining essential infrastructure. The building's permitting history indicates regular maintenance and structural improvements, with no major renovations or violations recorded in recent years.

The property has experienced typical urban incidents over the years, with the most recent issues being general service requests and illegal postings in early 2024. A construction noise complaint was recorded in April 2021, though this was transferred to the appropriate department for tracking. Historical records show a routine housing inspection from 2002-2009, which is no longer active. While there have been various sanitation and maintenance-related 311 calls, including reports of loose garbage and a medical waste incident in 2014, these appear to be general neighborhood issues rather than problems specific to the building. The building's recent history shows no recurring maintenance issues or significant safety concerns, with the last major infrastructure work (sewer replacement) being completed approximately 11 years ago.

Risk rating

How 69-71 Walter 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
49th percentile

Out of 287 buildings in this neighborhood, 146 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.

Permit rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building permit rate across the owner's portfolio.

Neighborhood location

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 45.5%
Moderate concern 26.7%
Severe concern 27.8%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
