Initial analysis

The 4-unit multi-family residential building at 1-3 Vicksburg Street in Noe Valley, owned by the Crawford Family Trust, is a 3-story flats structure built in 1906. The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to roofing, with the most recent permit issued in January 2025 for a $25,000 re-roofing project using in-kind materials. A significant safety concern was identified in 2005-2006 when a permit to replace the 3-story rear egress stair was issued but subsequently suspended. The property underwent two routine housing inspections, first in December 2000 and again in December 2007, revealing multiple safety and maintenance issues that were addressed by their respective abatement dates. The 2000 inspection notably identified problems with handrails, fire extinguishers, and gas utility shutoff requirements, while the 2007 inspection highlighted concerns with weatherproofing, interior painting, and fire escape maintenance, including potential lead paint hazards which were specifically noted in the violation documentation.

More recently, the building's immediate vicinity has experienced typical urban issues, as evidenced by multiple 311 calls in 2023-2024, primarily related to parking enforcement, street cleaning, and graffiti removal. A curb defect complaint was filed in March 2023 and remains open as of the latest records. The building's planning records show various rear yard variance requests, with some withdrawn and others denied, indicating ongoing considerations regarding exterior improvements. While the property has had periods requiring attention to both building code compliance and general maintenance, recent records suggest the building is currently addressing necessary repairs, most notably with the upcoming roofing project, though the previously suspended rear stair replacement remains a notable historical concern.

Risk rating

How 1-3 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.

Neighborhood percentile
