Initial analysis

The property at 1119 Castro Street in Noe Valley is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, currently owned by Lockwood-dezela Lvg Tr. The building has undergone several significant improvements in recent years, with the most substantial being a comprehensive window and door replacement project in July 2023 ($132,573), which included the installation of 19 windows and 2 sliding doors with improved energy efficiency ratings. More recent improvements include deck and stair repairs completed in April 2024, with a re-roofing project currently permitted for September 2024 at a cost of $23,800, and a gas furnace replacement scheduled for November 2024. The building has received substantial maintenance attention over the years, including kitchen and bathroom remodeling (1997), foundation replacement (1997), and electrical upgrades including the installation of a solar PV system in 2009.

Notable historical issues include three housing complaints in January 1998 regarding possible improper asbestos removal, though these were promptly addressed and marked as not active. The property underwent significant conversion work in 1998, including a horizontal addition attempt (which expired) and a successful merging of existing upstairs living spaces into one unit. More recent maintenance concerns include a collapsed sidewalk issue reported in 2021 (currently open) and two utility wire concerns in 2017 that were addressed through proper channels. The building's maintenance record shows regular updates to systems and structures, with particular attention to energy-efficient upgrades and safety improvements.

Risk rating

How 1119 Castro 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
95th percentile

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 94 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.

Property class: single-family home

Single-family homes (class A) have distinct violation and complaint patterns from multi-family buildings.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 91.9%
Moderate concern 5.9%
Severe concern 2.2%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
