Initial analysis

The Salameh Family Trust owns this 5-unit, 3-story multi-family residential building from 1926 located in Noe Valley. The property has undergone significant changes in recent years, particularly focusing on a commercial space conversion in the ground-floor area. Most notably, between 2014-2024, the building underwent a substantial transformation of its ground floor from retail to bakery use (DBA Wallflower), involving extensive improvements including electrical upgrades (400-amp service), plumbing work, and hood installations costing over $260,000. Recent issues have emerged regarding the ground floor's status, with multiple complaints between 2023-2024 about unpermitted work, storefront vacancy, and a controversial mural described as antisemitic by complainants. These recent complaints have generated active investigations, with one complaint from December 2023 still marked as active regarding a vacant storefront and potential unpermitted work. The building's history shows attention to safety concerns, with past violations in 2002 regarding egress obstruction, fire escape maintenance, and fire extinguisher recharge, all of which were abated by December 2002.

Recent building modifications include several hood installations (most recent in 2023), gas piping work, and a December 2023 plumbing permit for a Type I hood addition. The property has experienced multiple graffiti incidents in late 2023 and 2024, with some cases being marked as "offensive" and generating public complaints. In addition to the commercial modifications, the building's residential aspects have received attention, including an approved Intermediate Length Occupancy designation process initiated in 2022. Building safety features have been addressed historically, with a 2014 staircase replacement and various maintenance improvements. A fire alarm system issue was reported and resolved in late 2022. Recent permits show ongoing work and modifications to the property, with particular focus on the ground floor commercial space.

Risk rating

How 4018-4020 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.
