Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 371-373 Noe Street, owned by Vijay & Sheena Vaidyanathan, is a 2-story flats/duplex structure built in 1900 in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood. The property has undergone significant renovations and faced various maintenance challenges over the past two decades. Most notably, in 2017-2018, the building underwent substantial improvements including the replacement of 14 windows, structural reinforcements, full bathroom remodels, kitchen renovations, and comprehensive electrical rewiring. This work was initiated in response to multiple housing violations from 2016 regarding deteriorated pipes, water damage, window leaks, and heating issues. In 2021, rear stair repairs were completed, though this followed previous complaints about stairs dating back to 2000.

The building's maintenance history reveals persistent issues with plumbing and drainage systems, particularly regarding rainwater management. There have been multiple complaints about clogged rainwater systems, most recently documented in 2019, and earlier issues with gutters dating back to 2001. The property has also experienced various housing violations over the years, including problems with heating, window condition, and water damage, though all violations have been marked as abated. Recent maintenance work included the installation of new furnaces and plumbing updates, suggesting ongoing efforts to maintain and upgrade the building's systems. More recent concerns documented through 311 calls relate to external issues such as graffiti, medical waste, and sidewalk cleaning matters, which are more related to the property's location rather than internal building conditions.

Risk rating

How 371-373 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
79th percentile

Out of 1278 buildings in this neighborhood, 268 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 (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 71.6%
Moderate concern 13.3%
Severe concern 15.1%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
