Initial analysis

The property at 1133-1137 Tennessee Street is a two-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1900, containing two units and owned by the Robert T Noelke 2012 Trust. The building has undergone several significant renovations over the past two decades, with the most substantial work occurring between 2015-2020, including a major horizontal addition to the rear, remodeling of top-floor units, garage renovations, and the addition of a third unit. This renovation included new plumbing, electrical systems, and the installation of a comprehensive sprinkler system costing $49,300.

The building has a documented history of maintenance and safety concerns, particularly during the early 2000s when multiple violations were recorded, including issues with sanitation, building security, and structural elements such as stairs and doors. More recent concerns include complaints about rodent infestation (2022), reports of the building being abandoned or derelict (2018-2021), and unauthorized construction work (2011). There have been recurring issues with parking violations near the property, as evidenced by multiple parking enforcement calls between 2021-2024. Fire safety appears to be a significant concern, with multiple fire complaints between 2013-2016 regarding combustible materials and alarm systems, though most were resolved or found to have no merit. The building's current status shows ongoing maintenance attention, with recent permit activity in 2023 related to structural revisions to shearwalls and moment frames, suggesting ongoing maintenance and safety improvements despite the property's checkered past.

Risk rating

How 1133-1137 Tennessee 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 C — Moderate risk
