Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 236-238 Jersey Street in Noe Valley, owned by the Stephen H Shane Trust Of 2000, has a documented history dating back to its 1900 construction. The property has undergone several significant maintenance and upgrade projects over the years, with the most recent plumbing improvements including heating unit replacements completed in 2021 and 2019. A notable foundation concern emerged in 2005 when an investigation was launched regarding potential undermining at the east property line, though this violation was ultimately abated by 2009. The building has received consistent attention to structural maintenance, including dry rot repairs to back stairs in 2000 and 2012, though a more ambitious plan to add an accessory dwelling unit with kitchen and bathroom facilities proposed in 2016 was ultimately cancelled.

Recent records indicate ongoing attention to the property, particularly regarding parking and street maintenance issues. Between 2022 and 2024, there have been multiple reports of driveway blocking, with several resulting in citations, indicating some ongoing challenges with parking enforcement in the area. There have also been periodic street cleaning and garbage concerns reported through the 311 system, with the most recent relating to unresolved loose garbage issues in mid-2023. The building's infrastructure appears to be receiving regular updates, with recent permits showing proper maintenance of heating systems, though some historical permits related to foundation work and deck construction were cancelled or left in filing status, suggesting these projects may not have proceeded as planned.

Risk rating

How 236-238 Jersey 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
55th percentile

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 846 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.

DBI complaint rate, owner's portfolio

Per-building complaint rate across the owner's portfolio.

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 73.8%
Moderate concern 12.5%
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.
