Initial analysis

The property at 16-18 Alvarado Street in Noe Valley is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1928, currently owned by the John J Migliozzi Trust. The building's permit history shows several street space permits being issued from 2003 through 2017, indicating ongoing engagement with public space requirements. In 1996, a kitchen alteration project was completed, involving the removal of cabinets and installation of new sheetrock and vinyl flooring. A reroofing project initiated in 1992 appears to have expired without completion records.

The property has experienced recurring issues with street cleanliness and parking violations, particularly in recent years. The most recent incident was a driveway blocking case in July 2024 that resulted in a citation. Throughout 2023, there were multiple reports of illegal parking, including one involving a motorcycle in June that was not validated by responding officers. Street cleaning issues have been documented regularly, with three general cleaning calls in 2023 alone, including a case of an overflowing city garbage can in August. The building's location has experienced various automotive-related incidents, including two tire removal cases in December 2010. While the street space permits and kitchen renovation suggest some level of property maintenance and improvement, the frequency of recent parking and cleanliness issues indicates ongoing challenges in the immediate vicinity.

Risk rating

How 16-18 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.
