Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 213-215 Noe Street in Duboce Triangle, owned by the Daniel S Mclean Living Trust, was constructed in 1941 and has undergone numerous significant alterations and faced several compliance issues over the years. Most recently, the property is scheduled for window upgrades in November 2024, with approximately eight aluminum-clad windows being replaced at a cost of $56,000. In late 2023, substantial bathroom renovations were completed, including reconfiguring the main bathroom, updating finishes, and adding washer/dryer hookups, with associated plumbing and electrical work totaling approximately $43,250. The building has had ongoing maintenance work, including repairs to exterior elements such as stairs, roofing, and balconies between 2019 and 2021.

Historically, the property has faced several serious challenges related to building code compliance. A significant period of concern occurred in 2000-2007 when multiple violations were documented regarding heating systems, electrical systems, unauthorized dwelling units, and safety concerns in what appeared to be an illegally converted basement space. While these violations were eventually abated in 2024, including issues with unauthorized wiring, plumbing, and fire safety features, they represent a substantial historical compliance challenge. There were also complications regarding unauthorized construction projects, including a hot tub installation on the roof in 2005, which was addressed through multiple violation notices. The property has shown consistent maintenance activity since these violations were resolved, with recent improvements focusing on modernizing the building's systems and maintaining structural elements. The most recent street-level issues have been primarily related to garbage overflow, with multiple complaints in late 2024, suggesting some ongoing challenges with waste management at the property.

Risk rating

How 213-215 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.

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 (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

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.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 92.5%
Moderate concern 5.4%
Severe concern 2.1%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
