Initial analysis

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 3914-3916 24th Street in Noe Valley, owned by Keener Smithton Trust 2009, has undergone significant renovations and faced various maintenance challenges since its construction in 1900. The property has seen substantial improvements between 2010-2011, including concrete foundation replacement, bathroom renovations, electronic upgrades, and rotted walkway replacement. These works followed several building complaints during that period regarding foundation work without permits, water leakage issues, and various infrastructure problems. More recent improvements include a ground-floor bathroom remodel in 2015 to accommodate disabled access, complete electrical upgrades, and the replacement of heating elements in response to a 2016 housing complaint. However, there are ongoing concerns as evidenced by recent activity on the property, including a building complaint from August 2018 regarding early morning construction noise, and a 2022 complaint about an unpermitted awning installation. The building has also experienced some infrastructure-related issues, such as past violations regarding heating systems, stormwater drainage, and security requirements, though these were all eventually resolved.

The property has maintained an active maintenance schedule, with multiple permits issued for various improvements including plumbing upgrades, electrical work, and façade enhancements. Recent 311 calls from 2023-2024 suggest some ongoing exterior maintenance needs, including sidewalk and shared space concerns. While most historical violations have been addressed, current open cases primarily relate to external conditions rather than structural or safety issues within the building itself. The building's history shows a pattern of necessary repairs and upgrades, particularly focusing on modernization and compliance with current building codes, though there have been intermittent issues with unauthorized modifications and construction practices. The records indicate regular attention to safety and habitability standards, with timely responses to most housing complaints and violations when they occur.

Risk rating

How 3914-3916 24Th 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.
