Initial analysis

The 4-unit multi-family residential building at 1442-1446 Valencia Street, located in San Francisco's Inner Mission neighborhood, is a 2-story structure built in 1900 currently owned by Shirley Ng Living Trust. The building underwent significant rehabilitation work in 2014-2015, including $60,000 in kitchen and bathroom remodeling across three units, along with the installation of four gas furnaces and complete electrical rewiring. Notably, the building experienced fire damage in late 2013 which necessitated several repairs in 2014, including replacement of roof beams, fireplace remodeling, and electrical system updates, with work totalling approximately $40,000 in repairs. The property has a history of maintenance challenges, particularly evident in 2000-2001 when multiple violations were recorded relating to interior surfaces, including mold and water damage, lead paint concerns, and various safety issues such as fire extinguisher and smoke detector maintenance, all of which were subsequently resolved. More recent concerns include construction dust complaints in 2014 and a bathroom fixture complaint in 2015, both of which were addressed. The property appears to have maintained compliance with building codes since the 2014 renovations, with no recent building violations recorded.

The property has generated a number of service calls in recent years, mainly related to parking enforcement issues, with multiple reports of blocked driveways between 2023 and 2024. There is also an ongoing issue noted from February 2023 regarding tree roots damaging the sidewalk, which remains open. A recent 311 call from December 2023 concerned Christmas tree disposal, which was resolved. The building's recent history (post-2014) shows no major structural or safety issues, with most recent service calls relating to external matters rather than internal building conditions.

Risk rating

How 1442-1446 Valencia 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 2380 buildings in this neighborhood, 1261 are predicted to be safer.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.

12-Month severity forecast

Moderate concern 20.0%
Severe concern 34.6%
