Initial analysis

The property at 3979 24th St is a 2-story, 3-unit multi-family residential building located in Noe Valley, built in 1904 and currently owned by James Lee Fmly Properties L. The building has undergone significant recent changes, with the most notable development being the conversion of ground floor space into a chiropractor office (Atlas Health Center) in 2024, involving substantial improvements including electrical upgrades from 175A to 800A, new HVAC systems, and the installation of an X-ray room. This commercial conversion was preceded by various permits and construction work between 2022-2024, including signage installation, plumbing updates, and electrical modifications.

The property's maintenance history shows regular upkeep, including a roof replacement in 2015 and several infrastructure improvements in 2014 such as ductwork replacement and furnace updates. The building's exterior and surrounding areas have experienced typical urban challenges as evidenced by 311 calls, primarily related to street cleaning and waste management issues between 2016-2024, though these were generally resolved through normal city processes. Two significant improvements were attempted but withdrawn: a 2023 pony wall construction project and a 2024 revision to drinking fountain relocation and ADA restroom clearances. A notable historical compliance issue was addressed in 2015 when illegal wiring in the attic and alleyway was removed. The property's commercial transition has been properly authorized through Conditional Use Authorization (CUA) approvals, establishing a health service use in the Noe Valley NCD Zoning District.

Risk rating

How 3979 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.

Neighborhood percentile

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 921 are predicted to be safer.
