Initial analysis

The 4-unit, 2-story multi-family residential building at 4172-4178 25th Street in Noe Valley, owned by Hunter Scott, was constructed in 1900 and has undergone various maintenance and improvement projects over the years. The property has experienced recurring issues with structural components requiring attention, particularly in the late '80s and early '90s with repairs to stairs, a rotted wood deck, and chimney removal. A significant series of building violations was documented in 2001, including issues with stairs, gas meter instructions, and safety equipment, though all were resolved by December 2001. The building has seen infrastructure improvements such as a sewer replacement in 2009 and a solar system installation in 2006.

Recent history shows persistent parking-related challenges near the property, with multiple citations issued for driveway-blocking violations between 2019 and 2024, suggesting ongoing enforcement needs in this area. Two recent street cleaning issues were reported: one in 2023 involving waste removal and one in 2019 for general garbage cleanup. The property has maintained regular health and safety inspections, with the most recent routine inspection occurring in 2007. While the building's maintenance record shows attention to structural and safety improvements over the years, the concentration of parking violations in recent years indicates continued enforcement challenges in the immediate vicinity.

Risk rating

How 4172-4178 25Th 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.
