Initial analysis

The two-story, four-unit multi-family residential building at 423-425 Noe Street, owned by Schmid Frear S, was constructed in 1908 and has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in 2018, the building underwent repairs to address multiple violations including egress obstructions, window problems, and fire safety concerns, with some work completed in response to a routine inspection complaint (CTS#201863091 and 201864383). The building has a documented history of structural maintenance, including a $23,192 reroofing project completed in 2016 and various improvements to address water damage, dry rot, and window issues dating back to the 1980s. A sewer repair was also completed in 2007.

The property has experienced recurring maintenance challenges, particularly in the past decade. In 2011, there were complaints about peeling exterior paint and cracked stone at the front entry, and 2018 violations included problems with fire escape ladders, weather proofing, and broken glass windows, many of which remain marked as active issues. Recent activity surrounding the property has primarily focused on parking enforcement, with multiple citations issued between March and November 2024 for driveway blocking, though these are unrelated to the building's condition or resident experience.

Risk rating

How 423-425 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

Out of 1278 buildings in this neighborhood, 971 are predicted to be safer.
