Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 3737-3739 23rd Street in Noe Valley, built in 1924, has undergone significant renovations and maintenance work in recent years. Most notably, in 2022, the property underwent substantial improvements including partial infill of an existing lightwell, comprehensive remodeling of both apartments, including new kitchens, bathrooms, and finishes, with a reported cost of $160,000. This project involved substantial electrical and plumbing upgrades, including the installation of two high-efficiency tankless water heaters, new furnaces, and complete plumbing systems for both units. The building has seen ongoing maintenance work, including dry rot repairs on multiple occasions (2016 and 2022) and compliance-related work in 2024 following a physical inspection report (CC-8666).

The property is currently undergoing a condo conversion process, with plumbing and other systems being updated to meet modern standards, including the installation of backflow prevention features and hose bibs in July 2024. Historical records from 2021 show concerns regarding lead paint dust and lack of scaffolding during construction, though these complaints are now listed as not active. The building's infrastructure has been substantially modernized over the past decade, including a significant electrical upgrade in 2014 to accommodate 200-amp service split between both units. Recent 311 calls related to the property have primarily been regarding street maintenance issues outside the building, which were resolved promptly. The condo conversion process has been officially recommended for approval, with all required compliance work being completed.

Risk rating

How 3737-3739 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.
