Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family residential building at 53 Jersey Street in Noe Valley, owned by Thomas W & Mary K H Foote L, is a 1913 flats and duplex structure consisting of two units. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past decades, with the most recent major renovation being a solar panel installation in 2007 (20 roof-mounted PV modules with 3.76 kW system). Prior roofing work was performed in 2009 at a cost of $11,350. Historical records show multiple roofing projects dating back to 1989-1990, and a kitchen remodeling project in 1997, though some of these permits have since expired.

The building's recent history (2017-2023) has been relatively stable, with no housing-related complaints or major safety incidents reported. Most recent activity has been related to parking issues on the street, including two cases of blocked driveways (August 2023 and July 2020) and three abandoned vehicle cases (most recently in November 2023). The property has received several infrastructure improvements, including a permit for adding a rear extension and height modification to the structure, which was approved. While there have been some minor street-related issues reported through 311 calls (pavement defect in 2021, sign repair in 2018), these are municipal matters not directly related to the building's condition or management. Overall, the building's permit history shows regular maintenance and improvements, with no record of severe structural or safety concerns.

Risk rating

How 53 Jersey 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.
