Initial analysis

The property at 3819-3821 23rd Street in Noe Valley is a two-unit, two-story residential building constructed in 1905, currently owned by the Irene Mar Revocable Trust. The building has undergone significant improvements and safety upgrades in recent years, with substantial work completed between 2023 and 2024. Most notably, comprehensive fire safety systems have been installed or upgraded, including a new fire sprinkler system throughout the attic and travel areas (completed in January 2024) and a sprinkler monitoring system (completed in August 2024). The property has also received major infrastructure upgrades, including a complete electrical rewiring of both units and a 200-amp service upgrade (completed in January 2024), new air conditioning systems (February 2024), and plumbing renovations including the installation of new fixtures throughout (November 2023).

Recent improvements have focused on modernizing and maintaining the building's systems while addressing safety requirements. These include exterior modifications such as replacing stairs and balconies (January 2024) and installing permeable pavers. The building has undergone interior updates including window replacements, roof work, and bathroom renovations. The property has experienced some maintenance issues as evidenced by multiple 311 calls regarding garbage and debris (typically furniture) incidents in 2023-2024, though these have generally been resolved promptly. A short-term rental complaint was filed in 2021 but appears to have been resolved with no further activity. The most recent planning records indicate approved modifications including window replacements, skylight installation, and various interior improvements, with several permits related to the property having been withdrawn or expired, likely due to changes in scope or reassessment of project requirements.

Risk rating

How 3819-3821 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, 132 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.

Building permits (past 7 years)

Number of permits pulled at this address — construction or renovation activity over 7 years.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 90.8%
Moderate concern 7.6%
Severe concern 1.6%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
