Initial analysis

This three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building located at 241-245 Noe Street in the Duboce Triangle was built in 1904 and is currently owned by Vijay Meduri and Padmanabhan Purnima. The property has undergone significant recent improvements, most notably a comprehensive renovation in 2019-2021 that included reconfiguration of all three floors (each containing three bedrooms and multiple bathrooms), replacement of 51 windows, complete bathroom remodels, kitchen upgrades, and electrical system improvements including new 150-amp panels. The building has a documented history of maintenance issues and violations that were addressed between 2007-2018, including interior surface repairs, security upgrades, and mold remediation. Of particular note, there were significant violations in 2007 regarding fire safety, security, and lead paint concerns, though these were all abated by February 2008. In 2018, there were issues with a rotted rear door frame, bathroom hole, and kitchen sink leak that were resolved by August 2018. The most recent building-related work includes the installation of new smoke detectors and carbon monoxide alarms in 2021. While there have been several recent 311 calls regarding the building and its surroundings (primarily regarding abandoned Christmas trees and sidewalk cleaning), these are typical urban maintenance issues and not directly related to the building's condition. A single incident of a smoke detector activation due to malfunction was recorded, with no injuries reported.

Risk rating

How 241-245 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
89th percentile

Out of 287 buildings in this neighborhood, 32 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.

Owner's portfolio size

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

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 70.6%
Moderate concern 20.7%
Severe concern 8.6%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
