Initial analysis

The 6-unit multi-family residential building at 90 Fountain St in Noe Valley is a two-story structure built in 1958, currently owned by Ruth Marian Anderson Revoc. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the years, with the most recent major work being a $49,000 reroofing project completed in 2021, following a previous roofing project from 1991. Safety enhancements were implemented in 1989 with the installation of a wet-type automatic fire sprinkler system and one-hour fire separations with handrails, addressing earlier fire safety concerns. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, including floor improvements in 1990 and various structural work in the late 1980s.

The property experienced several compliance issues in 2003, primarily related to fire safety, including problems with combustible storage, fire escape ladders, and alarm panel certification, though all were resolved by April 2003. A wall heater disconnection issue was reported and addressed in 2010, and an unpermitted circuit breaker installation complaint was filed in early 2011 but was quickly resolved. More recently, from 2024 through October 2023, there have been multiple parking-related complaints in the vicinity, with several citations issued for driveway blocking, though these are external neighborhood issues rather than building-specific concerns. The building's location has also experienced various minor urban maintenance issues typical of the area, including sidewalk defects, garbage concerns, and street maintenance needs, all of which have been addressed by appropriate city services.

Risk rating

How 90 Fountain 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
35th percentile

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 1221 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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

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.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 70.3%
Moderate concern 16.1%
Severe concern 13.6%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
