Initial analysis

The two-unit, two-story residential building at 470-472 Fair Oaks Street in Noe Valley, owned by the Dorothy A Geoghegan Revocable Trust, was constructed in 1906 and has undergone several significant renovations over the past two decades. Most notably, in 2020-2021, the property received substantial updates including a complete kitchen remodel with new cabinets, countertops, appliances, and plumbing fixtures, along with bathroom updates, electrical panel replacement, and related electrical work, totaling approximately $60,000. Prior improvements include a furnace replacement in 2011, significant exterior work in 2001 involving entry stair replacement and deck surface improvements, and necessary maintenance such as termite repairs and reroofing in 1996.

The building has experienced several concerning incidents over the years, with the most recent being an active complaint from 2018 regarding a possible illegal unit conversion from a tool shed at the rear of the property, raising fire safety concerns. In 2020, there were two complaints about unauthorized construction work on a rear structure causing noise disturbances, though these complaints were marked as not active. Historical permits show various maintenance and improvement work, including bathroom and kitchen remodeling in 2006, though some of this work was done without proper permits according to a subsequent complaint. The property has also had to address some infrastructure issues, including a building wall infill in 2002, electrical upgrades, and multiple permits for street space usage. While there have been several 311 calls related to the street and sidewalk conditions near the property between 2009 and 2021, these were generally routine public service matters such as street cleaning, street lighting issues, and general maintenance concerns, rather than direct building-related issues.

Risk rating

How 470-472 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.
