Initial analysis

This two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located at 1181 Church St in Noe Valley, was constructed in 1900 and is currently owned by Frances Ann Schiessl. The property has undergone several significant improvements and maintenance work over the years, with the most recent major activity being a filed permit in November 2023 for substantial modifications to the rear staircase and second-level deck, including the installation of new structural elements and deck covering. Notable past improvements include a sewer replacement completed in November 2022, window upgrades with aluminum installations in December 1988, and a street space permit issued in August 2010.

The building's recent history includes a series of 311 calls primarily related to parking issues on the sidewalk, with four reports between 2019 and 2024, though enforcement officers were unable to locate the reported vehicles in each instance. Other neighborhood interactions include temporary moving-related parking sign requests in 2018 and 2019 (both successfully resolved), and several street-level incidents in 2016 including graffiti (administratively closed), merchandise display violations, and illegal postings of A-frame signs (with one being removed following education of the business owner about city regulations). The property has shown consistent maintenance attention with regular updates and improvements, though no recent safety or habitability concerns have been reported through official channels.

Risk rating

How 1181 Church 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
97th percentile

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 56 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.

Building age

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

Notices of Violation, owner's portfolio

DBI NOVs across all buildings this owner is registered on — a signal of systemic maintenance issues across the portfolio.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 92.4%
Moderate concern 5.5%
Severe concern 2.1%
