Initial analysis

The 4-unit multi-family residential building at 939 Noe Street in Noe Valley, owned by Mullins Living Trust, has exhibited several maintenance and safety concerns since its 1914 construction. The most significant recent issues occurred in 2016, when multiple violations were documented, including egress obstruction, flooring problems, lead concerns, sanitation issues, interior surface damage, and problems with a wall heater. These violations were tied to Unit #2 and were resolved by June 2016, following necessary repairs including drywall replacement and various interior repairs. Earlier maintenance history shows recurring attention to structural elements, with repairs to the rear deck and stairway in 2002 ($18,000), dry rot repairs in 1999, and a reroofing project in 2001 ($6,000). The property underwent two routine housing inspections in 2002 and 2007, and there were some fire safety concerns recorded in 2012-2016 related to combustible materials and hoarding, though these conditions were corrected.

The most recent three years of record show relatively few building-specific issues, with the majority of recent 311 calls relating to street and parking concerns rather than building maintenance. However, there are multiple open pavement defect reports from April 2024. Recent parking-related 311 calls between 2021-2024 generally involved issues with vehicles blocking driveways or parking illegally, though these are not directly related to building conditions. A single fire incident was recorded with no civilian injuries, though this appears to be an unintentional alarm transmission. The building's documented history demonstrates regular maintenance and compliance with housing codes, though there have been instances requiring significant repairs and attention to safety concerns over the years.

Risk rating

How 939 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
21th percentile

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 1484 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.

NOV rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building NOV rate across everything this owner manages — high rates signal pattern neglect.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 62.4%
Moderate concern 14.2%
Severe concern 23.4%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
