Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 976 Noe Street in Noe Valley is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1912, currently owned by Fornesi Rosa. The building's permit history reveals several significant modifications over the past three decades. In 1993, there was a notable permit (9309020) related to the removal of an illegal unit at ground level, along with the legalization of two rooms and a bathroom, costing approximately $17,040. A reroofing project was attempted in 1996 under permit 9621477, though this permit ultimately expired. The most recent permitted work was a street space permit issued in 2005 (M33198) with no associated costs.

The property has been subject to multiple 311 calls regarding abandoned vehicles in the immediate vicinity, with three separate incidents recorded between 2015 and 2024. These incidents, while not directly related to the building's condition or safety, may impact the neighborhood environment. The most recent event occurred in July 2024, involving an abandoned vehicle that was gone upon arrival of the enforcement team. Prior to that, in November 2018, a green Ford vehicle was towed for outstanding tickets, and in March 2015, a beige safari van was reported but left before enforcement arrived. While these vehicle incidents highlight some parking enforcement challenges in the area, they don't provide direct insights into the residential building's current condition or management.

Risk rating

How 976-978 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.
