Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 441 Fair Oaks Street in Noe Valley, owned by George and Solange Arend, has experienced several notable incidents and maintenance issues over the past decade. The most recent and concerning pattern involves multiple parking violations in 2023, with four documented cases of vehicles blocking driveways or bike lanes between May and September, suggesting an ongoing traffic management challenge in the vicinity. Prior to this, the property faced several infrastructure concerns, including a collapsed sidewalk reported in 2016 and a defective curb identified in 2018, though these issues were eventually resolved by Public Works. A concerning environmental health service request was made in 2021, though it was closed due to insufficient information about whether the issue pertained to the property or nearby tree.

The building's maintenance history also shows attention to parking infrastructure, with a defaced parking sign repaired in 2020. There were two reports of abandoned vehicles in the vicinity in 2014 and 2015, though both vehicles were gone upon inspection. Of particular note is a tenant buyout that occurred in November 2020 at the neighboring 443 Fair Oaks Street, involving a payment of $95,000 to one tenant. While this transaction occurred at an adjacent address, it may indicate past tenant turnover activity in the immediate area. The property's age (built in 1900) and classification as a flats/duplex building are consistent with typical Noe Valley architecture, though no specific building condition issues are currently on record beyond those previously mentioned.

Risk rating

How 441 Fair Oaks 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.
