Initial analysis

The property at 1237-1241 Noe St in Noe Valley is a three-unit, three-story multi-family residential building constructed in 1905, currently owned by Webb George B & Gladys V Co. The building has undergone several significant renovations and faced multiple maintenance challenges over the past few decades. Most recently, in 2024, substantial upgrades were initiated including kitchen and bathroom renovations, new gas furnace installation, and electrical upgrades, with the work currently in progress costing approximately $75,775. The property has a concerning pattern of stairway maintenance issues, with a notable instance in 2023 involving dry rot repairs that cost $1,500, and previous violations dating back to 2003 that required stair repairs to comply with safety regulations.

Historical records show recurring compliance issues, including a 2002 lead paint violation that was abated in 2003, and multiple active violations from 2003 regarding safety concerns such as smoke detector installation, stair repairs, security requirements, and combustible storage. The building has experienced various maintenance issues in recent years, including termite concerns and mold at the rear exterior stairway (2023), and general maintenance issues (2023). Several 311 calls in 2024 suggest ongoing environmental and safety concerns, including reports of excessive noise, mechanical equipment issues, and illegal parking. While there was one fire complaint related to open flame burning in 2023, it was determined to have "No Merit," and there was a gas leak incident with no civilian injuries recorded. The building's maintenance history shows regular updates and repairs, including a reroofing project in 2004 and various interior renovations in 2016, indicating some level of ongoing property maintenance, though concerns about stairway safety and various building violations remain notable aspects of the property's history.

Risk rating

How 1237-1241 Noe 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.
