Initial analysis

The property at 466 Elizabeth Street is a two-unit, three-story multi-family residential building located in Noe Valley, originally constructed in 1900. The recent history of this building reveals significant construction activity, beginning with a major permitted project in 2019 that aimed to add a two-car garage in the basement and a third floor to accommodate new code-compliant front stairs. This project, valued at $950,000, encountered complications when a complaint filed in January 2023 reported unauthorized demolition of exterior walls on the first floor, which led to enforcement actions and the issuance of violation notices.

Since then, the property has undergone several critical safety and infrastructure improvements, including the installation of a comprehensive fire sprinkler system throughout the building (2024), substantial plumbing upgrades including new bathrooms and kitchen facilities (2024), and updated electrical systems including new 200-amp service and car charging capability (2022-2025). The building's current condition reflects ongoing compliance efforts, with recent permits addressing both the legalization of previously unauthorized work and improvements to meet modern safety standards. The property has also experienced repeated issues with parking violations, particularly between April and August 2024, with multiple citations issued for blocked driveways, suggesting potential ongoing challenges with access to the property.

Risk rating

How 466 Elizabeth 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.
