Nothing on record for this building in the last seven years. Our model still sees a moderate chance of maintenance problems in the next 12 months, from the owner's wider portfolio and the surrounding area rather than from anything recorded here. No public enforcement record to go on. Walk the building, ask the current tenants how repairs get handled, and get any promises in writing.

Rent & eviction protection

Is 1055-1057 Church St rent-controlled?

San Francisco's Rent Ordinance caps rent increases and provides eviction protection for most residential units built before 1979 with 2+ units. Here's how this building scores.

Built before 1979
Built 1900

Statewide backstop · AB 1482

California Tenant Protection Act of 2019

Even when a building isn't covered by local rent stabilization, the statewide Tenant Protection Act (AB 1482) may still apply. It caps annual rent increases and requires the landlord to state a legal reason to end most tenancies.

15+ years since occupancy
Built 1900
Annual rent increase cap
5% + CPI, max 10%
Just-cause eviction
After 12 months
Local rent control likely takes priority. This building appears to fall under the local ordinance above, which is stronger than AB 1482. Where a local just-cause ordinance applies, its rules govern instead of the state cap.

AB 1482 does not apply to single-family homes and condos unless owned by a corporation, REIT, or an LLC with a corporate member; to owner-occupied duplexes; or to deed-restricted affordable housing. The Act is in effect until January 1, 2030. Not legal advice — see the California landlord–tenant guide.

Initial analysis

The property at 1055-1057 Church Street is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building located in Noe Valley, built in 1900 and owned by Eliot Noyes and Augusta Talbot. The building has undergone several significant improvements and maintenance work in recent years, with the most notable being a complete sewer repair in 2022, the installation of three gas fireplaces and associated outlets in 2013-2014, and a solar panel installation in 2011 consisting of 9 roof-mounted PV modules. The building faced a notable violation in December 2007 regarding stair repairs that required proper permits, though this was resolved by June 2008 through the replacement of the front stairs at a cost of $2,500. Other completed maintenance includes reroofing work in 2011 costing $20,500, and the installation of three gas outlets for fireplace heater connections in early 2014.

The property has been subject to routine housing inspections, with the last significant violation occurring in 2007 related to stair repairs that required permits. More recent history shows typical urban maintenance issues being reported through the 311 system, including regular garbage collection concerns in 2023 (resolved), sidewalk cleaning, and some graffiti issues. There have been recurring reports about waste receptacles being left out continuously, with the most recent incident in 2015, though these typically appear to have been resolved through outreach and enforcement. The building's maintenance record shows regular upkeep and improvements, with no active violations on file and all historical violations having been properly addressed. The property has maintained its three-unit classification throughout its history, with no recorded changes to its unit count since the 1996 clarification of units documentation.

Risk rating

How 1055-1057 Church 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

Lower risk — safer than most nearby

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Typical — about average for the neighborhood

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Higher risk — riskier than most nearby

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
36thpercentile

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 1203 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

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.

Neighborhood location

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

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.
