Initial analysis

This two-unit multi-family residential building, located at 1105-1107 Church Street in Noe Valley, was constructed in 1925 and is currently owned by Michael E. and Martha E. Vandervo. The property has experienced several significant issues over its history, most notably in 2006 when a complaint was filed regarding unauthorized construction of a three-story rear deck, which led to active building violations and abatement proceedings. Multiple permit applications were submitted in 2015 to address this issue, including attempts to legalize the rear decks and convert the property to a three-unit dwelling, but these permits were ultimately cancelled. More recent maintenance work has included the installation of a 200-amp electrical service with three meters in 2003, though some permits from 2005-2006 for reroofing and sidewalk work are listed as issued but not fully documented in the records.

The building has experienced several quality-of-life issues in recent years, including multiple complaints in 2022-2024 about garbage receptacles being left out continuously, and two instances of driveway blocking that resulted in parking citations. A sewage backup incident was reported and resolved in September 2022. There have also been two documented fire safety incidents - one involving a malfunctioning smoke detector and another false alarm - though neither resulted in civilian injuries. The property has undergone some regular maintenance and improvement efforts, including a 1992 reroofing project, and in 2015 a variance was approved for the legalization of the existing deck at the rear of the property, though this was part of the broader unresolved compliance issues that began in 2006.

Risk rating

How 1105-1107 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.
