Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family residential building at 43-45 Liberty Street, owned by Alan H & R Duretle Schacter, was constructed in 1880 and contains two units. The property has undergone several significant improvements and repairs over its history, with the most recent major work being the installation of a new split heat pump system in April 2024. Notable past maintenance includes stair repairs in 2018, the replacement of the housetrap in 2019, and various structural improvements in the late 1980s including repair of dry rot and foundation work. The building was subject to a Soft Story Retrofit Program complaint in 2014 regarding earthquake safety compliance, though this violation is now listed as not active. Previous unauthorized modifications were addressed through permits in the 1990s, including the removal of an illegal basement kitchen and the installation of an interior stair.

The property has experienced recurring issues with parking violations in the vicinity, particularly regarding driveway blocking, with multiple enforcement actions recorded between 2022 and 2024. There have also been several sanitation-related service requests on the adjacent street, including reports of waste and holiday tree disposal. Administrative records show that the building underwent a rear yard variance process for expansion and parking modifications, though these appear to be resolved. Recent service requests have primarily focused on street maintenance issues rather than building-specific problems, suggesting that major structural and safety concerns have been addressed through proper permitting and inspection processes.

Risk rating

How 43-45 Liberty 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.
