Initial analysis

The 5-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building at 3543-3547 23rd Street in Noe Valley, built in 1904 and currently owned by the Dwp 2012 Irrevocable Trust, has undergone several significant improvements and faced various challenges over the years. Most notably, the building completed a mandatory soft-story retrofit in 2017 at a cost of $105,000, achieving CFC issuance as a Tier 3 building. Recent maintenance includes a re-roofing project completed in 2019 costing $24,000. Between 2010-2011, substantial interior renovations were performed, including bathroom renovations, new bathroom additions, wet bar installations on the first floor, and window replacements in various units, along with comprehensive electrical and plumbing updates. The building has experienced multiple safety and compliance issues, particularly notable in 2001-2002 and 2011, including violations related to fire safety systems, garbage disposal, and sanitation. A significant complaint about unauthorized remodeling and system modifications was filed in 2007, while more recent concerns include reports of encampments and graffiti in 2023-2024, along with multiple complaints about parking violations on the property.

The building's maintenance history shows regular attention to major systems and safety compliance, though there have been periods of concerning violations, particularly in the early 2000s. Recent 311 calls suggest ongoing challenges with parking and street cleaning around the property. Planning records indicate that as of 2017, part of the property was being used as an office for "Trustwork," with reports of multiple workstations and equipment not typical of residential use, though this usage appears to have been addressed through abatement procedures.

Risk rating

How 3543-3547 23Rd 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.

Neighborhood percentile

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 1447 are predicted to be safer.

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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

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

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 39.5%
Moderate concern 22.7%
Severe concern 37.7%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
