Initial analysis

The two-unit residential building at 1383-1385 Church Street in Noe Valley, owned by the Stephen R Gilbert Trust, is a two-story flats and duplex structure constructed in 1927. The property has undergone several significant improvements over the past decades, with the most recent major upgrades occurring in 2016-2017, including comprehensive bathroom renovations on the 2nd and 3rd floors, electrical system upgrades to 200 amps, and water main replacement to address compliance with physical inspection report #CC-8073. In 2022, electric vehicle charging infrastructure was installed with two 40-amp/240V chargers. The building had previously seen substantial renovations including a kitchen remodel in 2006, and in 2008, new wooden decks were installed on the 1st and 2nd floors with proper footings, handrails, and stairs.

Recent maintenance concerns have emerged, with an open 311 call from August 2024 regarding a collapsed sidewalk in front of the property. There have been eight documented instances of vehicles blocking the driveway between 2020 and 2024, with varying outcomes in terms of enforcement response. The property's maintenance history shows regular upkeep and modernization efforts, particularly in 2016-2017 when multiple systems (plumbing, electrical) were brought up to current standards. Prior renovation efforts, such as a canceled 2013 permit for replacing the wooden staircase in the side yard, suggest some planned improvements did not proceed as anticipated. The building has undergone a condo conversion process (DPW Lottery Bypass) that was approved, indicating its transition from an apartment to condominium form of ownership.

Risk rating

How 1383-1385 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.
