Initial analysis

The property at 448-450 Noe Street is a two-unit multi-family residential building located in the Eureka Valley/Dolores Heights neighborhood, built in 1900 and currently owned by Marc Lesnick. The building has undergone significant renovations and improvements over the years, with the most substantial work occurring between 2007-2016. Major improvements included comprehensive electrical system upgrades in 2007 (removal of knob & tube wiring, installation of new circuits, lights, and receptacles), plumbing renovations including new bathrooms and kitchen relocations, and various structural modifications. A notable building violation was recorded in 2008 regarding unauthorized construction of a rear porch, deck, and roof overhang, though this was eventually abated in 2012. The property underwent several permit-related issues, including complaints about work performed beyond the scope of permits in 2008 and a 2013 complaint about unpermitted curb work, though all these issues appear to have been resolved.

Recent activity at the property has primarily involved parking issues, with multiple reports of driveway blocking between 2021 and 2024, though these are not directly related to building conditions. The most recent building-related activity was a rent board inquiry in June 2024 regarding ownership records. The property has maintained active compliance with building permits since 2012, with all major renovation work receiving proper final inspections and approvals. The building's systems have been regularly updated, including recent work on shower pans (2016) and kitchen/laundry relocations (2016), suggesting ongoing maintenance and improvements by the current ownership.

Risk rating

How 448-450 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
69th percentile

Out of 1278 buildings in this neighborhood, 396 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.

Building permits, owner's portfolio

Permits pulled across all of this owner's buildings over 7 years.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 76.1%
Moderate concern 13.2%
Severe concern 10.8%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
