Initial analysis

The Houck Living Trust owns this two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located at 417 Fair Oaks St in Noe Valley, constructed in 1900. The property has undergone several significant structural improvements over the years, including a completed reroofing project in 1990 and an expired siding installation permit from 1991. A sidewalk repair permit was issued in 2003, though it's unclear if this work was ever completed.

The building's recent maintenance and service record shows minimal issues directly affecting resident safety or comfort, with no fire incidents recorded at the address. However, there have been recurring problems with parking violations in the immediate vicinity, including multiple incidents of sidewalk parking and driveway blockages between 2019 and 2022, suggesting ongoing challenges with street parking management in the area. Other documented incidents include a flooding issue on the property in 2014 which was resolved through PUC Sewer Operations, and some administrative matters like illegal postings in 2021 and a moving vehicle temporary sign request in 2013. A missed trash collection incident in February 2022 was eventually resolved with completed pickup. The building's permit and incident history indicates regular maintenance of critical infrastructure, though the age of some records (e.g., the 2003 sidewalk repair permit) raises questions about their current relevance.

Risk rating

How 417 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.

Neighborhood percentile

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 620 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.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Neighborhood location

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

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 74.0%
Moderate concern 10.3%
Severe concern 15.6%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
