Initial analysis

The property at 1343-1347 Church Street is a two-story, three-unit multi-family residential building located in Noe Valley, built in 1900 and currently owned by Patricia A Britton Revocable Trust. The building has experienced significant water-related issues in recent months, with multiple complaints and service requests filed between January 2023 and September 2024 regarding persistent water leaks and flooding, particularly affecting the corner of the building at 1347 Church Street and the intersection with Clipper Street. These water issues appear to have resulted in structural concerns, with reports of cracks in the building. The property has seen substantial electrical upgrades in 2020, including the installation of new 200-amp main panels and 70-amp sub panels for all three units, as well as electrical work associated with kitchen and bathroom remodeling in 2015. Earlier maintenance history shows attention to various repairs, including termite damage remediation in 2015 and plumbing work related to bathroom and kitchen remodeling. The building's infrastructure has undergone periodic maintenance over the years, with documented repairs to the exterior walls and foundation in the 1990s, and various other improvements. Recent 311 calls from 2024 have primarily focused on water-related issues, with multiple reports of flooding and water leaks being documented, though some of these calls were ultimately determined to not be related to fire hydrant problems, indicating possible groundwater or sewer-related issues. The fire department responded to two service calls in relation to water or steam leaks, but fortunately no civilian injuries were reported in these incidents.

Risk rating

How 1343-1347 Church 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.
