Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 43 Elizabeth Street in Noe Valley, owned by David Namm, is a two-story flats and duplex structure built in 1958. The building has undergone several significant improvements over its lifetime, most notably in 2006 when comprehensive interior upgrades were completed, including ceiling drywall removal, insulation installation, and the addition of new lighting in the living and dining rooms, along with electrical work for eight lights, two switches, and a smoke detector - all completed at a cost of $8,500. An earlier improvement was completed in 1989 with a reroofing project.

Recent history (2023-2024) shows multiple parking-related incidents around the property, with at least seven documented cases of driveway blocking between September 2023 and November 2024, resulting in several citations being issued. There have also been two noise-related complaints in June 2024, though these were directed to SFPD for resolution. A potentially hazardous tree situation was reported and resolved in October 2024. The building's permit history and maintenance records suggest regular upkeep of major systems, with no documented safety violations or major structural issues on record.

Risk rating

How 43 Elizabeth 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.
