Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family residential building at 117-119 Noe Street in Duboce Triangle, owned by David Chou and Ayse Cinaroglu, was constructed in 1906 and contains two units. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the years, with the most recent major work being the installation of two Tesla Powerwalls and a Tesla gateway in December 2019, demonstrating the building's commitment to modern energy solutions. Recent plumbing concerns are notable, with two sewer backup incidents reported in late 2023 (November 30 and December 1), though these were resolved by the PUC Sewer Operations. The building has a documented history of unauthorized unit concerns, with complaints filed in 2005 and 2007 regarding possible illegal units and attic conversions, though these issues were addressed through proper legalization processes, including the 2012 legalization of an existing utility room on the top floor.

Recent improvements to the property include a master bathroom renovation in 2018, which involved modern upgrades such as LED lighting and plumbing modifications. The building has seen substantial infrastructure improvements, including a complete water service replacement in 2013, furnace and electrical system upgrades in 2007, and the installation of solar panels (two systems) in 2009. The 2-unit condo conversion application, processed by Sirkin and Associates, was approved, indicating the owners' intent to formally establish the units as condominium properties. The property has maintained compliance with safety and building codes, as evidenced by the completion of various correction orders, including those related to inspection report CC-7135 in 2012. While there have been periodic maintenance issues noted through 311 calls, these have typically been promptly addressed by city services.

Risk rating

How 117-119 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
78th percentile

Out of 287 buildings in this neighborhood, 63 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.

Neighborhood location

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

Building age

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

Construction spend, owner's portfolio

Estimated permit value across all of this owner's buildings.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 68.8%
Moderate concern 15.1%
Severe concern 16.1%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
