Initial analysis

The 695 Noe Street property is a two-story, six-unit multi-family residential building constructed in 1961, currently owned by the Joseph M Torrano Trust. Significant recent improvements include the installation of a new sprinkler monitoring system in 2022 ($6,000), a comprehensive fire sprinkler system in 2020 ($12,500), and the addition of an ADU unit in 2018-2020 that expanded the building from five to six dwelling units ($90,000). The building underwent a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017-2018 ($75,000) to comply with seismic safety requirements. Recent maintenance issues have been documented, including complaints about water leakage affecting unit #1 in 2023, improper venting of a wall heater in 2023, and roof waterproofing concerns in early 2024. The property has a history of building violations from 2007 that were addressed by early 2008, including issues with guardrails, fire escape maintenance, and electrical permits. Recent maintenance and safety upgrades suggest active management of the building, though some recurring maintenance issues have been noted, particularly regarding water leaks.

Risk rating

How 695 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.
