Initial analysis

The three-unit residential property at 83-85 Vicksburg St in Noe Valley is a two-story flats and duplex building constructed in 1910, currently owned by David Haggerty and Lau Berger. The building has undergone significant renovations and maintenance work over the past several decades, with the most recent being the issuance of permits in October 2024 for replacing rotten siding on the right side of the building at an estimated cost of $10,000. A sewer backup incident was reported and resolved in December 2024, marking the most recent infrastructure-related event. The property underwent substantial improvements in 2010, including a major remodel of all floors, excavation work for legal head height, conversion of the roof to occupied space, dormer addition, and voluntary seismic upgrades, totaling $300,000. Additional notable upgrades from 2010 included installation of radiant floor heating, bathroom and kitchen remodels, and a complete electrical service upgrade to 200 amps with comprehensive safety features.

The building has maintained active upkeep, with maintenance of modern amenities including solar panel installations (two systems totaling 5.1 kW in 2012), replacement of the roof (2012), and plumbing upgrades including sewer/housetrap replacement (2019) and gas fireplace installation (2013). The property has experienced minimal complaint history, with only two recorded complaints in 2010-2011 regarding construction issues and paint removal procedures, both of which were promptly addressed and closed. The most recent 311 calls primarily relate to external issues such as sidewalk repairs (2018) and entertainment-related noise complaints (2022), suggesting that the building's internal systems and maintenance have been generally well-managed. The repeated instance of siding repairs, most recently in 2024, and the 2024 sewer backup incident may warrant attention, though these represent standard maintenance and infrastructure issues for a building of this age and character.

Risk rating

How 83-85 Vicksburg 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.
