Initial analysis

The 8-unit building at 1435-1449 Castro Street in Noe Valley, built in 1910 and currently under the Catherine Quigg Exempt Trust, has undergone several significant maintenance and upgrade projects over the past few decades. Most notably, in 2014, the building received a substantial electrical upgrade, including the installation of a new 400-amp service and additional meters, completed in August 2014. In recent years, there was a heat-related complaint in December 2021, which was marked as not active. The building has a history of addressing maintenance issues, including substantial work in 2002 when exterior stairs and decking were replaced to comply with housing inspections, and a car-related incident in 2011 that required stucco repair.

The property has undergone regular electrical maintenance and inspections, with a survey conducted in July 2014 showing proactive management of the building's systems. Historical violations from 2001-2003 related to various maintenance issues, including exterior stairs, drainage pipes, and sanitation concerns, were all resolved by May 2003. Recent exterior maintenance records from 2024 show multiple reports of garbage, debris, and street cleaning issues in the surrounding area, including instances of overflowing city garbage cans and graffiti on public property, though these appear to be related to street conditions rather than building-specific issues. The most recent building-specific permits were for street space usage in 2019, indicating ongoing compliance with municipal requirements.

Risk rating

How 1435-1449 Castro 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

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.

Number of units

The number of units affects how the model reads complaint and violation totals — more units means more potential sources.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

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 30.3%
Moderate concern 28.3%
Severe concern 41.5%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
