Initial analysis

The 1068-1070 Noe Street property is a historic four-story duplex built in 1900, currently owned by Yellow Door Properties LLC. The building has undergone significant improvements and safety upgrades in recent years, with major work occurring in 2019-2024. The property received substantial renovations in 2024, including energy-efficient windows and doors, balcony guard replacements, and interior improvements, with a reported cost of $600,000. Comprehensive safety systems have been a focus, with the installation of a new sprinkler monitoring system in 2020, a complete sprinkler system installation in 2019 (58 heads throughout), and recent permit applications in 2025 to relocate 54 sprinkler heads across multiple floors. In 2019-2020, the building received extensive upgrades including new plumbing for four full baths, one powder room, two kitchens, and laundry facilities, as well as electrical rewiring and new heating system installations.

The property experienced some maintenance issues in 2015 when complaints were filed regarding exterior peeling paint, which were resolved within three months. A recent fire violation related to the sprinkler system was issued on December 5, 2023, and abated by January 24, 2024. The building has had minimal emergency incidents, with only two recorded fire department responses for a lock-out situation and carbon monoxide incident, neither resulting in civilian injuries. Regular maintenance and safety upgrades have been a priority for the property, as evidenced by the recent applications to relocate sprinkler heads and ongoing improvements to fire safety systems. The building's management has worked to address violations promptly, as demonstrated by the quick resolution of the 2015 paint issues and the recent fire violation.

Risk rating

How 1068-1070 Noe 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, 432 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.

Number of floors

Building height affects maintenance complexity and is one of the size signals the model uses.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 75.0%
Moderate concern 17.7%
Severe concern 7.3%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
