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

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.
