Initial analysis

The property at 1253-1255 Noe Street is a two-unit, two-story multi-family residential building located in San Francisco's Noe Valley neighborhood, built in 1900 and currently owned by the Sandra M Reidy Revocable Trust. The building has undergone several significant improvements over the past 15 years, with the most substantial work occurring in 2009-2010. During this period, there were multiple projects completed, including the installation of new windows and exterior doors (replacing those damaged by dry rot), the addition of a metal spiral staircase from the upper level to the lower deck, and electrical upgrades in the back porch area. The exterior received attention as well, with the replacement of two basement doors in 2010. The building's maintenance history shows regular upkeep of essential features, though there was one instance of dry rot damage requiring window replacement.

Recent activity at the property has primarily consisted of routine municipal issues not directly related to the building's condition, including reports of illegal postings, street cleaning, and parking violations in the vicinity. The most recent building-related permit records date back to 2010, suggesting that any major structural or systems updates have not been needed in the past decade, which could indicate either satisfactory maintenance or potential deferred upkeep. The property has received two Non-Complying Structure Variances related to the rear exterior stairway, both of which were approved, demonstrating compliance with necessary regulatory requirements. The building's permit and complaint history suggests active management, with most issues being promptly addressed through appropriate channels.

Risk rating

How 1253-1255 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.

Neighborhood percentile

Out of 1879 buildings in this neighborhood, 451 are predicted to be safer.
