Initial analysis

The two-story, four-unit apartment building at 386 San Jose Avenue in Noe Valley, owned by Shaikh Juned Usman & Aasia, was constructed in 1961 and has undergone several significant maintenance and improvement projects over its lifetime. Most recently, in 2017, the building received a complete reroofing at a cost of $14,898, following an earlier roof replacement in 1989, and in 2011, approximately 30 square feet of water-damaged siding was repaired. A notable renovation occurred in 2002-2003 when fire safety issues were addressed, including repairs to the fire escape drop ladder and removal of egress obstructions, demonstrating compliance with safety regulations.

The building has faced some maintenance challenges, including a 2014 complaint about mold in a bedroom, peeling paint near windows, and water leaks affecting both windows and bathroom fixtures. There have been several infrastructure issues documented through 311 calls, with the most recent being sewer-related service requests in February 2024. Historical records indicate a pattern of periodic maintenance and inspections, including routine inspections of common areas and a significant remodeling project in 1999 involving door replacement, though this permit expired. The property also underwent a substantial unit reconfiguration in 2002, merging two one-bedroom units into a single two-story unit with three bedrooms and two bathrooms, according to planning records. While there have been occasional issues such as graffiti (noted in 2019) and noise complaints (2021), these appear to be typical of urban residential life and were generally addressed promptly.

Risk rating

How 386 San Jose Ave'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
