Initial analysis

The property at 530-532 Elizabeth Street is a three-story, two-unit multi-family residential building located in Noe Valley, constructed in 1927 and currently owned by the Goettner-Shmunes Family Trust. The building has undergone several significant improvements in recent years, most notably a comprehensive renovation in 2022 that included kitchen remodeling, fireplace replacement with a new gas direct-vent system, and electrical upgrades totaling $95,000. Additional recent work includes the replacement of a street-facing window in December 2022, and most notably, in April 2024, the installation of a new high-efficiency boiler system with radiant floor heating, replacing a failed boiler system from 2017. The building has also seen sustainable upgrades, including the installation of a solar PV system in 2004 and an electric vehicle charger in 2011.

The property has experienced some maintenance challenges over the years, with records showing multiple boiler replacements (2017 and 2024) and some plumbing work related to system failures. A notable sewer issue occurred in May 2015 involving a 4-inch sewer vent problem that was subsequently resolved. The building's history includes two concerning incidents involving medical waste (needles) on nearby property in December 2013, though these were resolved through city intervention. While there was a planning investigation regarding the possible removal of a legal unit, the case was closed as abated. The most recent building permit activity suggests ongoing maintenance and upgrading of building systems, with particular attention to safety features like fireplaces and modern amenities like EV charging.

Risk rating

How 530-532 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.

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.

Owner's portfolio size

Number of SF parcels this owner is registered on — larger portfolios have distinct risk patterns.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 91.4%
Moderate concern 5.8%
Severe concern 2.7%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
