Initial analysis

The two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building at 268-270 Fair Oaks St in Noe Valley, owned by Francine E. Davis, was constructed in 1900 and has undergone several significant maintenance and repair projects over the years. Most recently, in 2015, a concrete slab replacement was performed in the rear side yard, while a reroofing project was completed in 2009 at a cost of $12,000. The building's history includes some notable events, such as two cancelled permit applications in 1998 for the demolition and reconstruction of three stories with three dwelling units, and the removal of a front covered deck in 1997 to restore the building's facade. Multiple instances of dry rot were documented in 1987, though these permits eventually expired. A housing inspection complaint regarding possible illegal units was filed in 1997 but was promptly abated within a month.

The property has experienced several tree-related issues in recent years, with a damaged tree reported in January 2024 and an open case from December 2023 regarding tree contact with the building or windows. There have been multiple parking enforcement calls between 2022-2024 for vehicles parking on adjacent sidewalks, though officers were often unable to locate the offending vehicles upon arrival. The building's vicinity has required various city services for street and sidewalk maintenance, including responses to hazardous materials (glass), general cleaning needs, and overflowed city garbage cans, though in several cases, no waste was found upon investigation. While these maintenance and service calls indicate ongoing attention to the property's environment, they are primarily related to external factors rather than the building structure itself.

Risk rating

How 268-270 Fair Oaks 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, 770 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.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

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 81.8%
Moderate concern 11.0%
Severe concern 7.2%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
