Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 10-12 Alvarado Street in Noe Valley, owned by Pamela Mejia, was constructed in 1980 and has undergone several significant improvements over the years. The property has a documented history of maintenance and upgrades, including a $8,000 reroofing project in 2002, a completed horizontal addition in 1994, and interior alterations to relocate the kitchen and add storage on the top floor in 1991, which cost $18,000. Earlier works include a cancelled permit for an extension to the rear wall and new deck in 1988, and another reroofing project completed in the same year. The building underwent a two-unit condominium conversion that has been officially closed and approved.

The recent history of the property shows several municipal service calls, primarily related to street cleaning and parking enforcement issues. In 2023, there were two reports of human or animal waste on July 12, one of which remains open as of the report date. There were also two instances of driveway blocking by vehicles in March and February 2023, neither of which resulted in the offending vehicles being located by responding officers. Previous years show similar patterns, with multiple reports of street cleaning needs and parking enforcement calls, though these issues appear to be primarily related to the street and public areas rather than the building itself. The most recent major building-related activity on record was the 2002 reroofing project, suggesting minimal significant building modifications in the past two decades.

Risk rating

How 10-12 Alvarado 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.
