Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family residential building at 527 Noe Street, owned by Clifton J. Albergotti & Choi, has a documented history dating back to its 1890 construction. Most recently, in January 2023, the building underwent reroofing work costing $8,800, representing the latest significant building improvement. The property's maintenance record includes some notable infrastructure work, such as a completed drainage improvement in 1984 and a chimney removal project proposed in 1996, though that permit ultimately expired. Earlier documentation from 1982-1983 indicates completion of at least one additional project, though specific details are not provided in the records.

The property has experienced recurring tree-related issues, particularly with roots causing sidewalk damage, as evidenced by open reports from October 2022 and September 2024 regarding damaging property and sewer damage, respectively. The building's location has faced multiple parking-related challenges, with seven recorded incidents of driveway blocking between 2020 and 2022, all of which were resolved through parking enforcement intervention. The surrounding area has required general maintenance attention, as shown by a 2023 street cleaning incident involving loose garbage, which was successfully resolved. Of particular note is a January 2023 incident involving a fallen tree, though this appears to have been resolved. While the building's infrastructure appears generally well-maintained based on recent improvements, the recurring tree root and parking issues suggest ongoing challenges in the immediate vicinity of the property.

Risk rating

How 527 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.
